If your physicians, nurses, and staff do not understand the beliefs and practices of people from other cultures, you're putting in jeopardy your patients' safety and satisfaction.

We have a solution.

Designed for any professional who cares for patients- physicians, nurses, assistants, pharmacists, physical therapists, etc.

Understand how cultural beliefs can get between you and the patient, jeopardizing their safety and satisfaction. That's why the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) is starting to monitor how organizations are training their care givers-whether physicians or orderlies!

The course covers nine major ethnic groups, and helps participants understand their:

•  Values and world views
•  Family and gender issues
•  Cradle-to-grave traditions
•  Health-related beliefs and practices

Each section contains interactive case scenarios to drive home important features of each ethnic group's beliefs and practices.
