Workplace Project Action Plan

The purpose of the workplace project (and this course) is to develop an awareness of the health disparities and the barriers vulnerable populations face/endure in seeking and obtaining health care and achieving wellness. The focus is the barriers presented by the health care providers. Your presentation needs to address those barriers by providing information/education targeted towards changing their preconceived perceptions or bias of a specific vulnerable population to effect a positive change in health care delivery/intervention in the future. Your action plan should state your objective of your educational intervention and describe what you are going to do to achieve that objective. This includes the type, if any, audio/visual aid, or a teaching plan. Try to be as specific as possible.
