Abstract:
The concept of diversity is ever changing regarding how populations perceive the definition. This project assessed how health-science college students perceive the definition and context of diversity in their personal and professional lives. Using qualitative analysis approach with 112 participants we found out that diversity was perceived to be an accumulation of various factors, i.e. education, religion, color though other factors such as age, gender, language, cultures were also considered. Such results highlight that students have varied definitions of diversity and hence formalized training in core courses on diversity in the context of serving in the healthcare field is essential.
