MedEdPORTAL ID#: 1658
Version: 1
Resource Type: Lecture Presentation
Description: This is a PowerPoint presentation with accompanying speaker notes suitable for presentation to healthcare learners at nearly any level of training: students, residents, fellows and faculty. The resource is designed to be used in an interactive style with learner participation. Practical suggestions are included to assist in a total assessment of the patient with emphasis on language barriers and cultural barriers. Varied simple clinical vignettes allow the learners to explore how cultural differences can impact care in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Culturally sensitive care allows the patient to more fully partner with the provider in achieving better health. The resource stresses the need for cultural sensitivity versus cultural stereotyping.

Effectiveness and Significance of Publication:
The resource has been utilized eight times per year for the last two years as part of the OB-GYN clinical clerkship at University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. During this time it has undergone significant revision based on learner feedback; simple clinical vignettes were added. Learners have indicated that this was a topic which otherwise did not receive much emphasis in the course of the M3 year. A recent learner recommended, "cultural competencies lecture at the beginning, not the end of the clerkship, would have been more beneficial."
Special Implementation Requirements or Guidelines:
Computer and Projector for PowerPoint This educational resource is best-suited to an interactive didactic session. I have utilized this presentation both for smaller (<20)>
