| It is increasingly recognized that cultural competence is essential for success of individual and community-based health programs. The DHHS Office of Minority Health has issued draft Standards on Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Health Care (CLAS). Many public and private health care delivery agencies and organizations are facing increasingly diverse clientele. While there is evidence that many organizations are sensitive to the need for a culturally competent organization and workforce, it is clear that most find this challenging. What are these organizations doing to educate and train a culturally competent workforce? What should they be doing? This session will address these questions and other issues including major approaches to cultural competence training, the limitation and potential of current methods to assess and teach cultural competence, the need for standards for individuals and organizations, and effective curriculum and evaluative measures in a variety of organizations | ||||
