Program Description: Organization culture does not always align to cultural competency. The healthcare industry is unique because we provide care not culture. Competency in the culture of people can broaden our perspective and improve the level of care currently provided. It can feel exhausting and overwhelming unless you can embrace a changing culture. Providing care in a climate that embraces client culture can change the dynamics of the healthcare industry.

The presentation is designed to help healthcare leaders develop knowledge, skills, and attitude to perform in a culturally sensitive society. The presenter discusses six core competencies, namely:

  • Inclusive care;
  • Exploring cultural differences;
  • Identify Competency triggers;
  • Understanding Biases;
  • Growth through awareness;
  • Standards and law.
