Healing with Respect – Understanding the Value of Cultural Competence – 3 Hours

Description

In today’s diverse healthcare landscape, providing culturally sensitive care is crucial. The Healing with Respect – Understanding the Value of Cultural Competence course is designed for healthcare providers who want to enhance their practice by integrating cultural understanding into every aspect of patient care. The focus goes beyond traditional cultural competence to practical compliance with legal, ethical, and professional standards related to cultural diversity in healthcare.

In this course, participants will learn about the definitions and background of cultural compliance. They will explore real-world scenarios that require critical thinking about cultural nuances, such as communication styles, health beliefs, religious practices, and family dynamics. The course emphasizes the importance of cultural humility and encourages providers to see cultural learning as an ongoing journey rather than a destination. Cultural competence is an exciting and enriching journey.

Upon completion of the Healing with Respect – Understanding the Value of Cultural Competence course, you will be able to: 

• Define cultural competence and explain its importance in healthcare, education, and social services.
• Elucidate the concepts of cultural awareness, cultural intelligence, and cultural humility and their pivotal roles in fostering cultural competence and enriching your understanding and knowledge in this area.
