BLACK PATIENTS: PROVIDING CULTURALLY COMPETENT CARE DURING LABOR AND DELIVERY

Course overview

Cultural competence (also known as cultural responsiveness, cultural awareness, and cultural sensitivity) refers to a set of behaviors and attitudes held by clinicians that allows them to communicate effectively with patients of various cultural backgrounds and to plan for and provide care that is appropriate to the culture and to the individual. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of providing CC labor and delivery care to Black patients. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
