HC Gerontology Response and Diversity Cultural Discussion

DIVERSITY; This week, you will consider your own cultural background and how it impacts the care you provide to your patients.

1. Define and describe health inequalities. How would you advocate for patients, families, and communities?

2.Discuss your results for each of the test (a brief response for all 6 of the tests).

3.Discuss if you are culturally competent or have cultural humility. Or are you not there yet? Why? What are your next steps?

Gerontology; Post a thoughtful response to at least two (2) other colleagues’ initial postings. Responses to colleagues should be supportive and helpful (examples of an acceptable comment are: “This is interesting – in my practice, we treated or resolved (diagnosis or issue) with (x, y, z meds, theory, management principle) and according to the literature…” and add supportive reference. Avoid comments such as “I agree” or “good comment.”
