- Description
- Cultural competency is the concept of understanding diverse cultural groups to provide high quality patient-centred care that is respectful of and aligned with the patient's cultural health beliefs, practices and value systems.1 Application of this concept aims to alleviate health disparities affecting minority groups, including vulnerable populations such as immigrants, refugees, racial and ethnic minorities, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Cultural competency is a well established concept taught in medical schools, incorporated into hospital and professional accreditation frameworks, and embedded into government policy documents.2
