policies that help you work effectively in many settings. From an
expert team of authors led by Rani H. Srivastava, this guide will
enhance your care of Indigenous, LGBTQ2, Black and People of
Colour, and immigrant and refugee populations. UNIQUE approach
looks at populations the way health care workers encounter them,
not by ethno-cultural/religious labels. Accessible writing style

professionals. Multidisciplinary perspective is provided by authors
