UNDERSTANDING THE HUMANEXPERIENCE

Students will explore the development of holistic caring-healing relationships with patients and families in a variety of settings. Ways of knowing, therapeutic communication, critical thinking, and assessment will provide a context for providing holistic, evidence-based, and inter- professional care. The universal human experience of suffering, crisis, and loss will be examined in diverse developmental/age, gender, multicultural, and spiritual contexts. The dynamics of family, group, and community influences will be considered in the context of transcultural practices and holistic care. Students will be guided in values clarification between the individual client lived experience and theoretical concepts. The personal and professional development of our own humanity and the experience of others will be strengthened through personal knowing, narrative, journaling, reflection, and self-care.
