Good morning Everyone,

America's Health Insurance Plans published an article on the Health
Literacy Initiative lead by Affinity Health Plan in New York. What this
insurance company is currently doing in the realm of health literacy may
help to answer some of the questions Ms. McKinney posed.

Subject: [HealthLiteracy 2365] Wednesday Question: Health Literacy
Curricula for The Health Care Field

Hi Everyone,

I am on my way to a learning institute in Calgary sponsored by The
Centre for Literacy and Bow Valley College. 

The topic is: Constructing Curriculum for Health Care Providers

See the info at this link:
http://www.centreforliteracy.qc.ca/whatsnew/Health+Lit_Oct_08.pdf 

I'd love to bring your opinions to the table as we discuss this issue.
Please write in your thoughts on any of the following questions, and I
can share them with the group of international participants:

- Who is creating health literacy curricula and for whom?
- Who in the health care sector needs health literacy curricula?
- Should health literacy curricula have a common core for all in the
health care sector?
- Where is the space for health literacy in professional curricula?
- Should special attention be paid to health care  workers with low
literacy?
- Where are the promising practices of teaching and learning that
incorporate cultural diversity, adult literacy and health?

I look forward to hearing from you!

All the best,
Julie
