Hi. Does anyone know of evidence that individual lack of competence in
diversity & cultural competency in health care professionals (particularly
physicians) leads to poor health outcomes for groups?

Is anyone familiar with  successful models of physician training on cultural
competency and diversity?

We would be happy to share the findings on both of these topics. Thanks.
Marylin
