Mary Therese Keating-Biltucci presents a thoughtful look at cultural competence as a useful tool for healthcare providers. Most importantly, how respect for differences in the healthcare workplace is one of the many ways to acquire cultural competence in a multicultural society.
Growing demand in the U.S. for culturally competent individuals across a wide range of professions can be reflected in recent results of the 2010 Census, which shows the U.S. as being less of a melting pot, and more of a diverse garden. People from a broad scope of cultural backgrounds share the same soil. And caring for those individuals requires the same thoughtful approach as caring for a rich variety of flora in a flourishing landscape.
