Course description
There is growing recognition that the diversity of patient populations necessitates an approach to care that acknowledges how individual life and cultural experiences influence a person’s health. Incorporating this understanding is an important component into responding to a patient’s healthcare needs. Illinois law requires physicians to complete one hour of cultural competency training that addresses issues that enable them to care effectively for patients from diverse cultures, groups, and communities.
The Illinois State Medical Society invites you to join Vinodinee Dissanayake, M.D., M.P.H. for a program that will provide information and tools to help improve the cultural humility and responsiveness of physicians and strengthen their ability to effectively care for patients. Dr. Dissanayake is an emergency department physician and Assistant Professor at Rush University Medical Center.
Dr. Dissanayake will be presenting a related program on July 16 that will focus on the topic of structural competency and how social structures influence the health of patients and communities.
Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this learning activity, participants will be able to:
- Distinguish between cultural competency, cultural humility and cultural responsiveness and explain why this matters in healthcare practice
- Identify the perceptions and attitudes that may limit a physician’s ability to provide culturally sensitive care
- Identify the upstream structures that cause disparate health outcomes for minoritized populations
- Identify elements of culturally responsive care
