Reflective practice in nursing and cultural competency education
Research suggests that implicit bias exists among clinicians, may be associated with treatment recommendations (Green, 2007), and is “potentially malleable, changing in response to situational cues and norms” (Blair, 2011). However, bias/stereotyping is an under-addressed area in cultural competency education (Lie, 2006; Lie et al 2008). During this presentation, Dr. Ogbolu will provide examples of how reflective practice has been used in nursing and cultural competency education, and its potential to address bias/stereotyping in cultural competency education.

Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: Dr. Ogbolu's research focuses on improving the dissemination and implementation of health equity research and policy into clinical practice. She is funded as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation nurse faculty scholar to use dissemination and implementation science research methods to assess whether adoption of cultural competency standards in health care organizations is associated with improved patient reported experiences with care.
