Content is integrated with didactic courses and prepares students for IPPE and APPE experiences, as well as for their future careers. Steady changes in the demographics of the U.S. and the state of Minnesota highlight the demand for cultural awareness and sensitivity in the clinical environment as the percentage of racial, ethnic and cultural minorities in America is projected to continue to outpace the number of minority health care professionals. Racial and ethnic disparities in health and health care access have been recognized in the United States for over 30 years. Despite an improved life expectancy for all races and ethnicities, inequities in morbidity and mortality rates and utilization of preventative and necessary health care services persist for various segments of the population. As the United States’ population becomes increasingly diverse, pharmacists are becoming progressively more responsible for the health care management of people from various races, ethnicities, languages and cultures. Providing culturally and linguistically competent health care to these patients has the potential to reduce ever important disparities in health and health care services and to improve the nation’s overall health outcomes. Course content: 6 required WorkshopsCultural Competency: Exploring Basic Concepts and Contexts in Healthcare Delivery Identity, Values, and Beliefs: Cultural Awareness and the context of Healthcare Translating Theory to Practice: Developing Cross-cultural Clinical Skills Cultural Sensitivity and Cultural Humility: Developing a multicultural mindset Cross-Cultural Communication: Integrating knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes Cultural Competence Case Competition Debrief and Skills Evaluation Feedback and AwardsCase competition: Students in assigned groups of 3-5 students will receive a patient case for which each group will (i.) develop SOAP notes; (ii.) write a group reflection essay ; and (iii.) create a video demonstrating ability to deliver appropriate, culturally-responsive and patient-centered care to the patient in the case studyIndividual papers: Each student will write an individual reflection identifying their biases/assumptions and describe ways they would integrate the skills learned in the course in delivering patient care.Course format:Commensurate with college expectations for a 1 credit course, the requirements for this course represent an average of 52 hours of student effort per semester. The course format is project based, culminating in participation of the MPSO Cultural Competence Case Competition and includes a variety of learning strategies including lectures, small group work and written assignments.

Take steps to get that help.● Talk with your peers and compare your learning with theirs. Use your area of strength to help others; and ask others to help you. Much learning happens via conversation-- either formal or informal.● Check in with your course instructional team (instructors, teaching assistants, course coordinators) about areas of concern.● Be honest about the effort you are putting forth in the course, and areas for improvement.This document will be a living/breathing entity that may change throughout the semester in order to best serve the learning objectives, course expectations, and needs of those involved in this course.
