Faculty
and trainers are entrusted with the responsibility to prepare
health and mental health care providers who have values, knowledge
and skill sets to work effectively cross-culturally. In addition,
they and their academic institutions have an essential role
in supporting professional development and inservice training
for both faculty and staff.
The following
are selected considerations for faculty and trainers committed
to cultural and linguistic competence:
- Understand
and articulate the rationale for cultural and linguistic
competence in health and mental health care
- Elicit
buy-in from faculty, staff, students and communities
- Incorporate
cultural and linguistic competence throughout the curricula
and learning experiences of training programs
- Participate
in planned change efforts to adapt curricula and training
programs in response to the evolving needs and preferences
of communities
- Contribute
to the body of knowledge about cultural and linguistic competence
- Advance
the evidence base for cultural and linguistic competence
within the broad parameters of health and mental health
