| OVERVIEW |
In 2009 over 12 million recent immigrants were residing in the United States. The Greater Kansas City area is home to many of these immigrant communities, including peoples from Bhutan, Somalia, Mongolia, Iraq, and Burma. As cultural diversity increases in our communities the challenge of providing culturally competent healthcare increases as well.
The 2012 Cross-Cultural Healthcare Symposium seeks to equip and mobilize regional healthcare students, professionals and community leaders to effectively bridge cultural barriers in providing healthcare services to culturally diverse populations found in the Greater Kansas City area.
| OBJECTIVES |
At the completion of this educational activity, participants will be able to:
- Use language ethically and effectively to communicate across cultures
- Identify obstacles to healthcare commonly faced by newly arrived immigrants
- Access locally available resources to aid in provision of immigrant healthcare
Provide Patient-Centered Care
Work in Interdisciplinary Teams
Apply Quality Improvement
