Joint Conference on Nursing, Diabetes & Medical Case Report

Keynote: J Nurs Care

Abstract :

As we globally continue to face diversity in race, ethnicity, culture, and religion, as healthcare professionals, we also continue to be challenged by our own unchecked biases and stereotypes when working with diverse populations of clients and colleagues. It is critical for healthcare professionals to understand and practice ‘cultural humility’ in order to better serve our ever-growing diverse populations of clients and also our professional peers. In this workshop, the concept of ‘cultural humility’ is introduced in comparison to and in contrast with ‘cultural competence’. Participants will also be invited to practice and embody this humility by utilizing interactive exercises and group dialogues. These processes are designed to provide both a tool and practice ground for participants to connect theories/ideas with behaviors/actions. This workshop will be both interactive and informative.
