Course description

Not offered 2011

In this course, students will be exposed to the various needs and complexities in the healthcare sector. They will explore the Conflict Resolution processes which are currently in use and what may be required; assess whether there are particular types or models of Conflict Resolution practices and approaches which are better suited; focus on developing practical skills that are applicable for those working within the various health fields; and, discuss possible system designs. Issues specific to physical health and intellectual and psychiatric disabilities will be elucidated, drawing from the students experiences as well as other practitioners from these areas. The course will be conducted in a three-day intensive block of classes (9 am-5 pm) followed by a one-day class approximately six weeks later during which students will present their research-in-progress.
