CULTURAL COMPETENCE IN HEALTHCARE TRAINING PROGRAM
The increasing diversity of the nation brings challenges for health care providers to deliver culturally competent services.
Cultural competence is defined as the ability of providers and organizations to effectively deliver health care services that meet the social, cultural, and linguistic needs of patients.
Differences in culture, values, beliefs and language become barriers and can affect communication and lead to misunderstandings.
A culturally competent health care system can help improve quality of care and health outcomes, and can contribute to the elimination of racial and ethnic health disparities.
The best strategy to move the health care system towards these goals include providing relevant training on cultural competence and cross-cultural issues.
CULTURAL COMPETENCE IN HEALTHCARE TRAINING PROGRAM
Our Cultural Competence in Healthcare program was developed specifically for health professionals to help them accomplish the following goals:
1) Enhance health professionals’ awareness of cultural issues and health beliefs;
2) Reduce administrative and linguistic barriers to patient care;
3) Help health care providers to deliver culturally competent services.
The Cultural Competence in Healthcare Training Program will help health professionals reduce health disparities and provide optimal care to patients regardless of their race, ethnic background, native languages spoken, and religious or cultural beliefs. The Cultural Competence training was developed for health care fields where human interaction is common, including medicine, nursing, allied health, mental health, social work, pharmacy, oral health, and public health fields.
