A Model For Healthcare Leaders

This all day workshop is intended for healthcare administrators and leaders in all types of healthcare settings.  Participants will begin the day with an overview of cultural competence in healthcare followed by Campinha-Bacote's model of cultural competence in leadership - The Process of Cultural Competence in Healthcare Leadership.

Addressing  Research Issues in Transcultural Health Care:

Group Consultation With Dr. Campinha-Bacote

This half day consultation allows healthcare professionals, from all health-related disciplines, to bring specific questions and challenges faced in developing and/or implementing projects relating to culturally and linguistically appropriate services in health care, education, or training.  Participants will receive individual consultation with Dr. Campinha-Bacote as well as have an opportunity to network with others as they begin to identify strategies to employ in their respective academic or healthcare setting.  To fully benefit each participant, the group is limited to 12 participants. It is suggested that participants attend either the clinical tract or educational tract,  the day prior to this session, to gain knowledge of Campinha-Bacote's models of cultural competence.

Enhancing Cultural Competence in the Health Professions:

A Culturally Conscious Model of Education

There is a clear lack of consensus among health professions' educators concerning the successful integration of cultural concepts within their respective curriculum.  This all day workshop is intended for educators in the health professions to explore questions such as: "What should be taught?" "How should it be taught?" How do we evaluate the process?" What should be the qualifications of the faculty?" and finally, "What is a culturally competent healthcare professional?"  In this workshop Dr. Campinha-Bacote discusses her "Culturally Conscious Model of Health Professions Education."  She will present the application of her model's constructs of cultural desire, cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, & cultural encounters as it relates to integrating cultural concepts into health professions' curricula.
