HPM 233C Practicum: Cultural Competence
Cultural competence in health care describes the ability of systems to provide care to patients with diverse values, beliefs and behaviors, including tailoring delivery to meet patients' social, cultural, and linguistic needs. In this course, students will come to understand their own individual and cultural position in the workplace and the other styles and approaches their colleagues might bring to their jobs. We help students understand the sources of conflict that may ensue at these intersections of culture, personality, and style, as well as ways they can use this diversity as an asset in team building, care provision, and problem solving.
