Worlds Apart: A Four-Part Series on Cross-Cultural Healthcare
VCU Tompkins-McCaw Library had already purchased the Worlds Apart DVD some time ago. Most recently, they have acquired a streaming license for the series so that it is available to students taking courses online.
To access the content, go to the library’s homepage and search for Worlds Apart Series.
It is an excellent series. According to the website, “these unique trigger films follow patients and families faced with critical medical decisions, as they navigate their way through the health care system. Filmed in patients’ homes, neighborhoods and places of worship, as well as hospital wards and community clinics, Worlds Apart provides a balanced yet penetrating look at both the patients’ cultures and the culture of medicine. The series is an invaluable tool for raising awareness about the role sociocultural barriers play in patient-provider communication and in the provision of healthcare services for culturally and ethnically diverse patients.”
