Upon completion of this program, participants should be better able to:
• LIST reasons why cultural competency is essential in healthcare
• RECOGNIZE the models used in healthcare that describe the process of developing cultural competency
• SELECT self-assessment tools to guide an individual in their reflection of cultures, values, and beliefs
• IDENTIFY steps to increase culturally competency
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
