Overview of Issues - Case STudies & Cultural Competence  

Lecture

Melissa Saperstein

In this section, we will discuss how religious beliefs may affect healthcare. After a general discussion of this topic, we will focus on Hasidic Judaism as one example. As I talk about religious factors, think about the Rivka Cohen case, as well as other cases you have experienced as a healthcare professional. You need to build a conceptual framework for understanding and working with issues related to the religious beliefs of patients and families.
