CME: How implicit bias and culture competence shape the patient healthcare experience
ACCREDITATION EXPIRED: April 30, 2024
AN ACCREDITED UP-TO-DATE VERSION OF THIS TOPIC CAN BE FOUND AT: How implicit bias and culture competence shape the patient healthcare experienceActivity Description / Statement of Need:
Cultural competence has been defined in a variety of ways. According to the CDC, cultural competence is a “set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that come together in a system, agency, or among professionals that enables effective work in cross-cultural situations.” In the setting of healthcare, practicing cultural competence can improve the ability of healthcare professionals (HCPs) to meet the social, cultural, and linguistic needs of patients, which may ultimately improve health outcomes among diverse groups of patients with unique sociocultural identities including race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation.
These observations illustrate not only that there is a gap in care related to the incorporation of cultural sensitivity into health care in the US but also that there are available solutions, and HCPs and their patients stand to benefit from provision of continuing education to address those needs.
Target Audience:
Physicians, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other HCPs.
This program is supported by educational grants from Amgen and Gilead.
This activity is free of charge.
