2016 Panel Discussion Topic:
Cultural Competence: Diversity in Action
Diversity training can be very beneficial and is essential to any organization’s success. However, training without proper execution is futile. Cultural competence not only considers differences in the ethnicity, gender, religion, physical ability, social status, age, educational background, etc. of each individual, but also focuses on the actual application of lessons learned and skills obtained through academia, training, “hands-on” experiences, community outreach, employee resource groups, and daily interaction with patients and personnel.
- How does the concept of “diversity” differ from “cultural competence”?
- Explain ways that community outreach and the use of ERGs (employee resource groups) can assist with driving cultural competency and “putting diversity into action”?
- How does diversity in our curriculum potentially impact our medical students and their ability to deliver cultural competent, patient-centered care?
- What does it mean for you to have a commitment to providing culturally competent care? How have you and your organization demonstrated that commitment in your work environment?
Beyond Diversity – Becoming a Culture of Inclusive Excellence
The changing demographics and economics of our growing multicultural world, and the long-standing disparities in the health status of people from culturally diverse backgrounds has challenged health care providers and organizations to consider cultural diversity as a priority and moving past the concept of diversity. Instead focusing more on the concept of a culture of inclusion that will lead to excellence.
- Explain ways that driving cultural competency and putting diversity into action can be conducted in the health care professions.
- How does creating and building a culture of inclusion impact healthcare professions students and their ability to deliver cultural competent, patient-centered care?
- What does it mean for you to have a commitment to providing culturally competent care?
- How have you and your organization demonstrated that commitment in your work environment?
