Excerpt

Physicians with cultural competence training have greater patient satisfaction.1 Consequently, many medical schools strive to instill cultural competence in their students. However, the best approach to teaching cultural competence remains difficult to assess due to difficulties assessing the effects of individual interventions and their outcomes. 2 Additional issues include that many existing cultural competency interventions fail to address implicit biases students may hold and many institutions do not provide cultural training for their faculty. 3
