Two Accredited E-Learning Courses offer a New Arts-Centered Approach to Cultural Competence

Using illustrations from music, sculpture, painting, poetry, dance, hip-hop, and other art forms, and stories from folklorists of varying cultural backgrounds, the courses are designed to raise awareness of the need to employ cultural sensitivity in care delivery, and provide a practical “how to” set of guides.  The two courses are fully accredited for CE credit for physicians, physicians assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurses. The courses are designed to meet the learning needs of the entire healthcare team.  

The first course focuses on the underlying concepts of culturally sensitive care:  cultural humility, knowledge of various cultures, narrative competency, and structural competency or system “savvy.”
