Abstract:

Given the significant, persistent health care inequities encountered by minority populations, health care organizations and training programs have sought to incorporate cultural competency training initiatives. However, the variety of pedagogical models demonstrate the current lack of a uniform standardized curriculum. Limitations of knowledge-based cultural competence initiatives have resulted in a shift toward attitude- and behavior-based "cultural humility." Cultural humility, the ability to maintain an interpersonal stance that is open in relation to aspects of cultural identity that are most important to the patient, expands on cultural competence, which is essential to improving patient care in mental health care settings.
