Course Description:
Cultural Competence training has become common in many workplaces, and is now required for health professionals to renew their licenses, but how well does training translate into practice? The idea that a training can result in competence in the cultures of others or result in a point of completion, as opposed to opening a place of beginning, has been a flaw in competence training, historically. This workshop will review, as well as move beyond, the classic framework of Cultural Competence to explore diversity as a spectrum of lived experiences, concepts such as Cultural Responsiveness and Humility, and strategies to effect change. We will examine the role of professional ethics, social determinants of health, inclusive of the role that power plays in society, and the importance of understanding the historical context of inequity. Participants will explore a more nuanced approach to competency, one that focuses on skill building, knowledge assessment, and ongoing critical self-reflection towards addressing health inequities and providing exceptional care.
Program Objectives:
Participants will explore their personal beliefs and positionality, be able to relate social and cultural identities to health determinants, gain skills to improve patient interactions and communication, and be able to identify how they can take action in creating inclusive and transformative health environments.
This course meets the Oregon Health Authority cultural competence continuing education criteria established bythe Advisory Committee described in OAR 943-090-000 through 943-090-0020.
