System vs individual

10. Where to go for help? Frequently asked questions…
What is race-based medicine? How is this different from what I may have learned in medical school?
My student came to me and told me that a patient used a micro-aggression towards them?  What does this mean?  How should I respond? 
My student used a word that is in English, but I’m not sure what it means in this context, is there a place where I can look it up?
I wanted to discuss the medication plan for the patient’s concern and the student asked how I address the social determinants of health of this problem?  What do they mean by this question?
When I went to medical school and residency, I got training in cultural competency. Now my student asked about cultural humility.  How is this different?
