Towards Cultural Competence: A Conversation for Health Care Managers and Leaders

Overview:

This is a 1-hour recording of a live webcast.

According to the Census Bureau, the racial and ethnic minority populations in the US are expected to grow to be more than half of the U.S. population in three decades. Therefore, health care delivery systems must address the health care needs of diverse and multicultural patient populations. This leadership development session will be presented as a conversation with health care managers and leaders about the need for cultural competency in health care systems, the role of cross-cultural communication strategies; new trends and initiatives to advance cultural competence; cultural competence as a learned set of behaviors; as well as, the fundamentals of self-awareness of attitudes towards other cultures.
