MDCF.docx

Your final in this class will require you to select a public health or health related agency who provides services to the public. You will need to apply concepts from this class to complete a review of their online materials and organizational practices to evaluate how well they meet standards and principles of culturally competent public health care, as well as offer recommendations for cultural competency.

You are responsible for identifying an organization large enough and/or with enough of a digital footprint to allow you to obtain this information. 

In thinking about how well the organization applies cultural and linguistic competence, this checklist (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. developed by the National Center for Cultural Competence for organizations wishing to self-evaluate may be useful for you to figure out what questions you should seek to answer.

A well-done presentation will include a discussion of how well the organization meets (or doesn’t meet) CLAS standards, along with other concepts and frameworks for cultural competency that have been discussed throughout the quarter. You are expected to demonstrate that you have retained many (if not all) of the concepts, definitions, terms, and ideas from the course.

 

This will be a 10-minute presentation  

 

A rubric outlining the required components of this project is posted to Canvas. 

 

Please use standard APA formatting guidelines for both in-text citations and a bibliography or references section. See the course policies on academic integrity and plagiarism.
