Teaching Cultural Competence and Cultural Humility in Medical Education A Practical Guide

"Training in multicultural issues is an area of increasing focus in medical education internationally. In the United States specifically, the specific inclusion of the topic in training programs is among the key criteria established by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) for approval of schools of medicine, where Standard 7.6 deals with 'Structural Competence, Cultural Competence, and Health Inequities'. This new textbook provides a culturally sensitive framework to address the major elements in the LCME Standard 7.6 and to address related requirements for including multicultural issues in the curriculums of medical schools around the world. With a practical approach, the book provides invaluable hands-on guidance to students seeking to develop their skills, knowledge, and competence in this area. Additionally, by specifying where and how in the curriculum students can be trained to be culturally competent, the book serves as an essential reference for educators and medical schools seeking support in the development and implementation of a culturally appropriate curriculum"--
