Culturally Responsive Clinical Encounters

This interactive two-part series will provide learners a framework for the assessment and implementation of clinical practices intended to improve patient outcomes and reduce health disparities. Attendees receive a supplemental packet to include a sample practice analysis form, a sample intake form, full text links to all articles cited, and handouts that correspond with each topic presented. These handouts are completed during the session and provide attendees the opportunity for a real-time evaluation of clinician and clinic. Attendees outline solutions through collective application of handouts and journaling in the development of a culturally responsive clinical environment.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize patient challenges in receiving culturally responsive health care
Assess and analyze current clinical practices for the reduction of health disparities
Develop a blueprint for in-office procedures and standards
