Enhancement Modules
The curricula enhancement modules were designed to:
- Assist faculty in incorporating five key content areas
into existing curricula that are important to cultural and
linguistic competence in public health.
- Provide a set of defined areas of knowledge, skills, and
awareness related to each core content area.
- Offer relevant materials, articles, publications, and
other multimedia resources for each core content area.
- Provide faculty with instructional and self-discovery
strategies.
The modules can be viewed online or downloaded for printing.

About This Project
The purpose
of the Division
of Research, Training and Education (DRTE) Project of
the National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC) is to increase
the capacity of DRTE-funded programs to incorporate principles
and practices of cultural and linguistic competency in all
aspects of leadership training.
Specifically,
the NCCC is developing a series of modules that focus on four
key curricula content areas in cultural and linguistic competency
that are essential to health care practitioners, and specifically
designed for use by faculty in DRTE-funded interdisciplinary
and disciplinary education programs. These four
curricula enhancement modules are
- Cultural
Awareness
- Cultural
Self-assessment
- Process
of Inquiry/Communicating in a Multicultural Environment
- Public
Health in a Multicultural Environment
The topics
for these modules were developed by a work group of selected
DRTE personnel and grantees and other experts in the field.
