Students are expected to read all 10 course readings before July 20th, since during the field experience we will have the opportunity to engage in discussions where the articles will provide a good basis. I also highly encourage each of you to research and read current articles that are relevant to border health, minority's health disparities, and cancer care, as they pertain to our discussions and/or to your specific areas of interest.
