Course Description: In a country of ever-increasing diversity, clinicians must be equipped to interact with clients of varied cultural backgrounds. Those delivering effective, empathetic health care must be cognizant of the values, beliefs and attitudes toward health that people from various populations hold. The culturally competent oral health provider recognizes that cultural diversity means far more than just ethnicity and reaching all groups with various barriers can be challenging. This pre-recorded self study course will present cultural diversity issues, how dental professionals can become more culturally competent in the delivery of patient care and ways to use this knowledge for addressing access to care barriers among the population groups discussed. Different models of cultural competency will be explained, and a variety of diverse population beliefs and ideals will be presented, emphasizing communication and incorporation of respect for diverse beliefs. Oral health issues of various cultures will be presented and discussed. Course Objectives - At the completion of this course the participants should be able to: 1. Describe key trends in the demographics of culturally diverse populations. 2. Identify general health beliefs and values of diverse groups. 3. Describe methods for effectively communicating with diverse populations. 4. Identify collaborative partners in the provision of oral health services to diverse populations. 5. Describe oral health issues of some cultures/ethnicities.
