<strong>HCEC</strong> <strong>Letter</strong><br />

Cultural Competence<br />

“With increasing diversity in the U.S. population and strong<br />

evidence of disparities in health care, it is critically important<br />

that health care professionals are specifically educated on<br />

how their own and their patients' demographic (e.g., gender,<br />

income, race and ethnicity, etc.) and cultural (e.g., language,<br />

religion, etc.) factors influence health, health care delivery<br />

and health behaviors.”<br />

Reflect on how your life experiences have contributed to your<br />

cultural competency.<br />
