Honor, Shame, and Medical Practice
Topic description
Medical work in honor-shame cultures can be tricky to navigate if one does not understand the honor-shame worldview. Having been both a practitioner and a patient in those cultures, Audrey understands the nuances of the practitioner-patient relationship from both sides. As a speech-language pathologist, she served on cleft-lip and palate surgical teams for twenty years before pursuing writing full-time. In this seminar, Audrey provides medical professionals practical and insightful tools to make cross-cultural medical mission more effective in honor-shame societies.
