    What's it like to teach at Parkinson?

    Teaching at Parkinson allows me to provide students with the intellectual tools to understand the array of social issues that intersect with health and well-being. As a diversity scholar, I want my students to understand and appreciate that individuals are part of social and cultural environments, and thus I stress the importance of understanding individual behaviors in a cultural and social context. My goal is for students to gain diverse perspectives and expand their worldviews in these arenas, to help them become critical thinkers.

    Why is this area of study important at this point in time?

    Bringing evidence-based medicine to practice in real world and adapting it to specific local and cultural settings will help make a difference and achieve equity in health care.
