T2  - Transitions of Care in Pharmacy Casebook
AB  - In  healthcare,  we  often  encounter  patients  from  various  cultural  and  religious  backgrounds.  It  is  important  for  pharmacists  to  understand  how  cultural  and  religious  beliefs  influence  how  patients  manage  their  health.  For  many  patients,  religion,  culture,  and  ethnicity  play  a  major  role  in  the  decisions  they  make  about  their  health.1  People  of  some  cultural  and  religious  backgrounds  may  not  understand  the  importance  of  taking  potentially  life-saving  Western  medications,  going  to  see  their  doctor,  or  value  the  advice  of  others.  Furthermore,  patients  with  different  belief  systems  may  have  varying  opinions  of  the  efficacy  of  Western  medications  and  medical  practices.  By  respecting  the  culture  of  our  patients  and  asking  them  about  their  beliefs,  healthcare  providers  can  build  a  bond  with  patients  and  gain  their  trust.1
