Culturally competent care training
With the increasing diversity of the United States' population, physicians are more and more likely to encounter situations that require the delivery of culturally competent care, access to a vast array of language services, and supportive health care organizations. Culturally and linguistically appropriate services help advance health equity, improve quality and eliminate health and health care disparities.
Persistent disparities, an increasingly diverse society, and an evolving health and health care system all underscore the necessity for providing services and care in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner.
A Physician’s Practical Guide to Culturally Competent Care equips physicians with awareness, knowledge, and skills in culturally and linguistically appropriate services to improve the quality of services and care provided in our nation’s health and health care organizations.
At the conclusion of this continuing education activity, participants should be able to:
- Define concepts related to culturally and linguistically appropriate services in medical practice
- Identify strategies to promote self-awareness about attitudes, beliefs, biases, and behaviors that may influence the nursing care or services they provide
- Devise strategies to enhance skills toward the provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services
- Demonstrate the advantages of the adoption of the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in their practice
- Register today to start earning up to 9 free CME credits (Physicians and Physician Assistants) or 9 contact hours (Nurse Practitioners), while exploring engaging cases and learning about cultural competency in health care. You may earn up to nine AMA/PRA Category 1 Credits™ by completing the DHHS OMH curriculum.
