Cultural Competence Teaching Resources

Health professionals must be able to care for people of many different cultural backgrounds in order to produce better health outcomes. As faculty in a health professions school, you must also be able to teach people of many different cultural backgrounds and simultaneously teach your students to become culturally competent health care practitioners.

Being a culturally effective healthcare provider requires the ability to understand how the cultures of your clients may impact their care, and to communicate with your patients, even if you don't speak the same language as them.

This guide provides links to resources and tools that will help you support you in your teaching and your students in understanding how the cultures of the patients and clients they serve may impact their care.
