Evaluation of residency training in the delivery of culturally effective care.

OBJECTIVE: To augment resident training in the delivery of culturally effective care in order to improve clinician capacity to effectively care for patients from diverse backgrounds. METHODS: Residents from the Naval Medical Center San Diego and the University of California San Diego participated in experiential learning and service activities. Programme evaluation assessed aspects of the delivery of culturally effective care in community settings. A community-based participatory approach to engaging residents in the delivery of culturally effective care and evaluation of the effectiveness of this approach are described. RESULTS: A significant pre-post rotation increase was noted in residents' self-perceived ability to identify culture-related issues that may impact on the patient's view of illness (P<0.001) and ability to address a culture-related issue (P<0.001). Community evaluations rated residents positively on behaviours that reflected communication skills and professionalism, but less positively on knowledge about communities. CONCLUSIONS: The authors conclude that resident exposure to the block rotation curriculum contributes to improved knowledge of the skills necessary to provide culturally effective care in diverse community settings.

Training healthcare professionals in youth violence prevention: an overview.

Youth violence prevention (YVP) is a top priority for all healthcare providers. Violence ranks among the leading causes of death for children and adolescents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention established the Academic Centers of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention (ACE YVP) to address this important national problem. One of the tasks of each ACE YVP is to develop YVP curricula for healthcare professionals. This article describes the experience of three ACE YVPs in developing curricula for nurses, allied health professionals, and physicians, including the identification of national resources, incorporation with local community resources, and areas of commonality and difference for incorporation at other sites. Each of the ACE YVP curricula described uses a multidisciplinary approach to teach learners. Two of the sites developed separate courses for students (University of California, San Diego and University of Puerto Rico) whereas the third integrated teaching through the medical school (University of Hawaii).

Communities as teachers: learning to deliver culturally effective care in pediatrics.

A patient's culture has an effect on her or his view of illness, decision to seek care, and adherence to treatment plans and follow-up visits. In this article, we describe community-academic partnerships designed to teach improved delivery of culturally effective care conducted in pediatric residency training programs in New York, New York, and San Diego, California. Columbia University-Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian focuses most of residents' cultural-training experiences within 1 community program, a home-visitation program (Best Beginnings) with which residents work in various capacities throughout residency. The University of California, San Diego and Naval Medical Center San Diego use a series of cultural "immersion experiences" as a primary method. The creation of community-academic partnerships for the purpose of service and training can be a critical asset in the development of culturally effective care training: community partners become teachers and local communities serve as classrooms.
