    Statistics show that Indigenous people who experience racism and discrimination in a healthcare setting are less likely to access, engage or comply with treatment (Awofeso, 2011). If healthcare practitioners are better educated in the history and colonization it will help change our perception of Indigenous people and be more willing to assist them by providing accessible healthcare. This can be achieved by providing healthcare workers with access to Indigenous cultural education and training opportunities. Training will increase the understanding of the cultural and historic reasons why Indigenous…

    The Black Male Yoga Initiative (“BMYI”) is organized to educate, engage, and empower Black men in all communities. Our audience demographic is straightforward, we have a primary focus on training men of color, ages 16 to 65, as certified yoga teachers, however, we do not exclude members of any race, age, gender or ethnicity — we merely want men of color to be clear that holistic health care practice is for “us too.” While the outcome of becoming a yoga teacher also creates workforce development, in that each successful candidate becomes a registered yoga teacher with The Yoga Alliance, capable of teaching anywhere in the United States, an equally important application is that we help build more informed communities. BMYI collects data in collaboration with the communities and organizations we serve, to build successful programs that address present issues. The result is an alternate base of holistic knowledge, performance measures and assessments, which, ultimately help create policies to ameliorate gaps in health care and human services for…

    According to Andrews and Boyle, Native Americans believe that heath is associated with the mind, spirit and connections with the creation and creator. Suppose a Caddo Indian was stricken with illness today, different ceremonies like seat lodging, traditional herbs, songs, dances, and prayers are used for healing (Andrews and Boyle 2012). In healthcare facilities clinicians should give patients time, space, and privacy to respect the family’s traditional healers; clinicians should also never interfere or interrupt the healer’s rivals so families will not distrust. (HCC 2013). Ultimately, the Caddo believe that the balance of harmony can be returned back to one’s life through rituals and…

    Attending a school that emphasizes diversity like the University of California, Los Angeles allowed me to interact with dissimilar people and immerse myself in many cultures different from my own. Through conversations outside of class and attending multiple culture nights, I was able to experience some of the customs, values, and beliefs of other cultures I had never been previously exposed to. However, most of my understanding has come from my service in Dr. Amy Waterman’s lab at the UCLA Transplant Research and Education Center. The research lab aims to reduce racial disparities in transplant. An example of our discoveries during research was results showing that minorities, especially African Americans, are less likely to pursue living…

    1. Background The National Institutes of Health created a number of programs to increase diversity in research workforce (Ginther, 2011). The creation of these programs allowed for minority scientists to receive additional mentoring support to become competitive for NIH R01 funding. Yet, NIH failed to determine the effectiveness of these programs, impacting the priority scores of these grant applications and the awarding of grants to the scientific teams lead by Black researchers (Ginther, 2011). Findings from the study indicated that Blacks were 10 percentage points less likely to receive R01 funding than their white counterparts, even when controlling for tenure and academic rank at research one institutions.…

    After reading the first few chapters of Population Health: Creating a Culture of Wellness (Nash, D., Fabius, R., Skoufalos, A., Clarke, J., & Horowitz, M., 2016), it becomes apparent that population health is an all-inclusive approach to health and wellness that addresses a fragmented and costly healthcare system. Rising healthcare costs and lack of quality make it necessary to change the current healthcare system in the United States. Population health attempts to address some of these current flaws by developing a culture that stresses the importance of a cohesive and organized health care framework (Fabius, R., Pracilio, V., Nash., & Clarke, J., 2016) . Population health is quite complicated and has no easy, all-inclusive definition (Noble,…
