CulturedMed


CulturedMed (click this link to go to the website)

Purpose of CulturedMed:
"CulturedMed" at the Peter J.Cayan Library at SUNYIT is a web site and a resource center of print materials promoting culturally-competent health care for refugees and immigrants.
This project provides support to the health care community and newcomers to our country by providing practical information regarding culture and health care from both viewpoints.

"While researching the topic of controversial culture health practices, I found this website that includes information for many different countries on their cultural practices as compared to ours. There is a wide range of topics listed on the left hand side of the screen. I looked up several health issues and only found a reference to the original article which makes it more difficult to search without a link. Have a look at the website, you may be able to pass the information on to others who join our culture but have different views of their own regarding health.
