TRAINX

Cultural Competency Training & Reflection (CO #1-3)

Description: You will explore, identify, and complete an online free training about cultural

competency in health care (video, assessment, model, toolkit, or other educational activity).

After completion, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that 1) Describes the training

activity including its source, purpose, and time required 2) Explains why you believe the activity

is valuable in diversity and cultural competence training in health care and 3) how you believe

the activity could be used to train others in professional contexts. 50 points.

Steps:

1. Search the Internet for a training (preferably free, please) that specifically addresses

health disparities, diversity, or cultural competence in health care. The training will

ideally provide a certificate of completion or even CEU’s. You may add this training to

your resume, if possible.

An example online training that would be ideal for this project is located here.

*You may not use this particular training (pasted above), however others are provided on

the same site.

*Do not email your professor and complain that you cannot find an appropriate training.

For years, students prior to you have found trainings to complete. Typically, if you are

having trouble finding something, it is because a lack of time was investing in searching

or because the student did not use different search terms to find what they want. You can

contact the library (online) to request help searching.

2. Once you have found a training that meets the characteristics above, please complete it

fully and obtain your certificate and CEU’s (if those are offered).

3. Next, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that:

a. Description: Describes the training activity (1-2 slides) including goals or

objectives (paraphrase this…do not copy and paste from the website).

b. Details: Source, purpose, and time required (1 slide)

c. Appropriate Audience: Who the training is appropriate for (professions targeted,

specific cultural issues, etc). In other words, who would best benefit from

completing this training? (1-2 slides)

d. Value: Explains why the training is valuable in diversity and cultural competence

training in health care (1-2 slides)

e. Learning Points: Major points you learned (paraphrase these) (3-4 slides)

f. Insights: How the training helped you become more culturally aware of the

effects of culture on health beliefs and practices of underrepresented groups (2-3

slides)

g. Application to Career: How you believe the training info should be used in your

future (or current) career field. In other words, you learned info in the training, so

how can that info be integrated into your professional field and professional role?

In this section, you may include specific strategies (based on the training info) to

enhance professionals’ abilities to provide culturally competent care. (2-3 slides)

h. Reflection: Include a personal reflection about the training content (2-3 slides).

Your personal reflection can be bullet pointed, of course. You can include

reflections about how you responded to the training, opinions about it,

positives/negatives (about the training itself, content, etc), feelings you noticed

emerge in you, memories from past experiences, etc. This is a section that is

more determined by you and your personal response to the training and reflection

about what that means about you, and of course the training.

i. Conclusion: This slide should simply provide bullet points about the content of

your presentation. (1-2 slides)

Make sure to label each slide with the same section labels bolded above or

points will be taken off. In other words, label each slide the same as the

labels above.
