The subject matter! Every clinician needs to take this course. I work in clinical coordination and home health services for the elderly. I spend a good portion of my time reinterpreting and educating clients on their office visits and test exams. Even the children of highly affluent clients cannot comprehend or take in the wealth of paperwork received by their parents. It is overwhelming and exhausting to decipher at times.

The dozen occupational therapy providers in my school district have gone in circles trying to meet the needs of our students, teachers, and parents who do not understand our school-based roles. This course enlightened me to the fact that not only may these stakeholders not have school-based vs medical model understanding, but they may not understand the health literacy of the conditions of children involved. I plan to bring this information back to my group to discuss further.

The statistics of health illiteracy were valuable in understanding the frequency of these problems. It helped me to understand why the push for PCP appointments that simply follow-up on patient visits with specialists (since this seemed unnecessary expense in my experience).
