Subject: [HealthLiteracy 1529] Medical School curriculum

 

Hello, 

I recieve the Health and literacy email discussion and find the breadth 
fascinating and heartening. 
I am a physician,completing fellowship training in specialty of Geriatric 
Medicine, at the John A Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii. My 
colleagues and I are in the process of developing a Health Literacy
Curriculum 
for medical students and other physicians in training. A literature review
has 
had low yield regarding other medical or professional schools intergrating
the 
topic of Health Literacy into their curriculum.
 
Does anyone have any knowledge of medical or other professional schools
incorporating health literacy into their training curriculum? 

Thank you in advance for your input.

Subject: [HealthLiteracy 1519] Wednesday Question: Policy Wish List?

Hi Everyone,
 
I don't want to interrupt the topic of using TV for ESOL in health settings,
but 
I want to ask for some feedback for this week's question.
 
What kinds of policy changes would be helpful to health literacy efforts? It

could be national or state policy, policy within your professional system,
or 
policy within your specific program. The field is open. Any ideas or wishes?
 
Thanks,
Julie
