From the Paper:
"The work of Betancourt, et al (2005) entitled: "Cultural Competence and Health Care Disparities: Key Perspectives and Trends" states that culturally competent health care is "broadly defined as services that are respectful of and responsive to the cultural and linguistic needs of patients" and that culturally competent health care considerations are emerging and are receiving attention due to their strategic reduction of "racial and ethnic disparities" but also as "a means on improving health care quality." (Betancourt, 2005) Betancourt makes a review of the various sectors of the discipline and their respective view of culturally competent health care and reports that experts from academia state an agreement that "culturally competency education is crucial for preparing future health care workers to care for a diverse patient population." (Betancourt, 2005) Consistencies were however "noted in the availability and quality of current offerings. Standardization of educational programs is needed as is increased training for faculty members." (Betancourt, 2005)"Sample of Sources Used:
