Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

Differentiate between cultural competency, cultural humility, and culture-affirming care and their impact on achieving health equity
Describe examples of how cultural competency education can be structured in various methods of delivery (professional skills lab, didactic courses, experiential)
Choose assessment techniques that you can use to measure CC care amongst student pharmacists across the didactic and experiential setting

We will provide examples of differences in nonverbal communication between different cultures as framed by differences in low context vs. high context cultures. Learning strategies employed will include case study, discussion and reflection. We will also discuss validated tools to assess cultural humility and cultural competencies as well as provide examples of how these concepts can be applied in various methods of delivery.
