Curriculum Overview
The Boston
Healing Landscape Project
(BHLP) team is in the
process of developing
curricular resources for
multiple teaching settings.
Our primary mission is
to train health care providers
in relation to the culturally
and religiously grounded
complementary and alternative
therapies used by patients
from African Diaspora
communities in the United
States. Our focus, at
this point, is in Boston,
with the understanding
that many such practices
will also be found in
other urban centers in
the United States.
We believe
that learning about these
traditions is a lifelong
process, therefore our
goal is to provide curriculum
for all age levels and
levels of experience.
We are currently focused
on medical education,
however, we hope to add
curriculum for nursing
and pharmocology education
in the near future. We
hope that the resources
in this site will prove
useful to teachers in
other settings, including
universities, colleges,
and high schools and even
middle and elementary
schools.
The images
in our slide galleries
and slide shows are available
for download for educational
purposes only. To register,
please go to the Download
page.
We will
soon be providing didactic
materials, including downloadable
Powerpoint presentations,
that can be used or adapted
for teaching sessions.
We
are working to develop
arrangements to enable
educational users to request
economical duplicates
of our slides for teaching
purposes. Stay tuned.
We welcome suggestions
from our viewers as to
how we can make this site
more useful to you.
