With this text, your students will learn how to understand and care for a wide diversity of patients! The Health Care Professional’s Guide to Cultural Competence, 2nd Edition provides a guide to safe and effective cross-cultural care. Applying theory to practice, the book begins with an overview of clinical cultural competence. This guide shows how to apply cultural competence across diverse populations, and then discusses considerations in working with specific populations. Using this approach, students will develop a set of behaviours, attitudes, and policies that enhance care in many settings. Written by a diverse authoring group with respect to geography, cultural identity, professional discipline, and perspectives, this guide helps students develop skills in caring for Indigenous, LGBTQ2, racialized persons, and immigrant and refugee populations.
