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.”
