Subject: [HealthLiteracy 2127] Health Literacy Curriculum


To improve health outcomes we must find ways to overcome the challenge
of low health literacy. A key to meeting this challenge is better
trained healthcare providers. I have been an educator in a respiratory
therapy program for 15 years. Two of the major units included in the
curriculum are patient communication and patient education. However,
there has been little focus on health literacy. I would like to develop
a more comprehensive health literacy curriculum that can be used to
supplement the content that is currently taught. Having said that, I am
soliciting ideas for a health literacy curriculum. Any information would
be helpful.
