Each student will write a 10-12 page Research paper (excluding the title and reference pages), using 12 point Times New Roman Font. Each student is to select two countries for the Research Paper. The names are to be submitted by email to the instructor for approval by Day 5 (Friday) of Week 3. Be sure to choose countries, not ethnic groups or continents. For each of the two different global cultures, the student is to describe the following: – Major demographics – Factors that may impact the health of the countries’ people (environmental, political, economic, etc.) – Health care systems – Common cultural values, beliefs, and practices – How the healthcare administrator might facilitate the provision of a culturally competent environment of care if a patient of the selected countries’ culture needed to receive care in a U.S. healthcare facility. The APA style guide by OWL at Purdue may be used to aid in formatting the document and citations: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_apa.html The research paper counts for 30% of the final grade. The Research Paper is due by Day 5 (Friday) of Week 7. The paper should be submitted to the Week 7 ‘Submit Assignments’ box for grading. The paper should also be submitted to the Week 7 Discussion Forum as an attachment so that colleagues can review information about the various countries, if desired. Papers are not to be submitted to the instructor’s email. Late paper policy: Late papers are not accepted except in extenuating circumstances which must be documented and approved by the instructor.
