Module 5
As an Orthopedic Technology instructor, I have found it beneficial to incorporate global perspectives into my instruction. I have included discussions on differences in healthcare access, orthopedic treatment practices, and the availability of specialized medical services in different countries. By connecting these topics to our classroom discussions and hands-on learning activities, students gain a better understanding of how poverty, education, and access to healthcare can impact orthopedic patient care around the world. This approach helps students develop a broader perspective while preparing them to care for patients from diverse backgrounds.
