Healthcare & Social Service Presentations

As the population of this country becomes increasingly diverse, the challenge of providing quality services also becomes more difficult. This is most evident in the health care sector, where life itself can be threatened due to cultural misunderstandings or miscommunication.

ISB believes that the key factor to cultural competency is education. Because of this, we developed a two hour presentation for health care providers that not only covers the basics of Islam and Muslim cultural practices, but also reviews issues specific to health care providers, such as diet, gender issues, birth and death considerations, and the Islamic view on blood transfusions, autopsies, and other common procedures.
