This paper presents an educational experience that includes the conceptual and the methodological elements of a course in Health and Culture that we have developed since 2006 in the Faculty of Nursing at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogota, Colombia. The course integrates the analysis of the diversity of practices, knowledge, and institutions in health and disease, and the exploration of power as a determinant of diversity, inequalities and inequities related to gender, life stage, ethnicity, rural or urban origin, or social class. It describes the contents, methodologies and the course evaluation forms.
