Module introduction (cont..)

Learning outcomes

 

By the end of this module we hope that you will be better able to:

 

  • define or at least have working definitions of 'culture' and 'cultural diversity'

 

  • evaluate your own attitudes and perceptions (including personal bias) of different groups within society and thereby evaluate and justify the approaches used your own clinical practice

 

  • identify how practitioner culture may influence clinical practice

 

  • describe the legislation that exists to ensure equal opportunities

 

  • compare and contrast the evidence available regarding effective interventions to create culturally appropriate services

 

  • identify strategies to ensure that the services they deliver are culturally appropriate for diverse populations.

Many of the exercises in this module are modified versions of those used in developing diversity education for medical students (Dogra, 2001).
