Principles for Building Cultural Competence

Review the discussion of principles of cultural competence in the Pérez and Luquis text (pages 50–52), including both the personal and the discipline-specific principles in cultural competence. In your initial post,

• Describe how these principles might help you develop personally and professionally as a health care leader or provider.
• Discuss your thoughts relative to Carney and Kahn's cultural competency training five stages.
• Discuss differences between cultural competence practice in diverse environments. How might they differ? Provide examples.
• Discuss two ways to improve chances of achieving cultural competence in health organizations, and support your thoughts with details or examples.

Response Guidelines

Read the posts of your peers and respond to at least two. Do you agree or disagree with the learner's assertions about cultural competence issues facing health care leadership and educators? Develop and present follow-up questions or supporting statements that may help clarify their perspectives.
