Cultural Awareness/Diversity in Healthcare | Case Study & Scavenger Hunt

Looking for an engaging way to teach cultural diversity in healthcare? This scavenger hunt activity is based on a realistic case study that gets students thinking about how cultural beliefs affect communication, care, and decision-making. It follows two nurses, Leticia and Rosa, as they navigate working with a diverse patient population in a big-city hospital.

Here’s what’s included:

• 10 short reading passages (3–5 sentences each) based on a real-world healthcare scenario
• Critical-thinking questions students answer as they move through the scavenger hunt
• Scavenger hunt format that encourages teamwork and movement
• Discussion prompts to help students make real-world connections

Best for:

• High school Health Science or Family & Consumer Sciences classes
• Units on communication, diversity, or healthcare careers
• Introducing cultural sensitivity and patient care skills

This is a great way to help students build empathy, practice reading skills, and start thinking like future healthcare professionals. It’s easy to prep, engaging for students, and sparks some great class discussions.
