From Roxanne Felix:

If you are interested in cultural competence and diversity training for
health care professionals, I suggest you check out the following websites.

http://www.gucchd.georgetown.edu/nccc
http://www.xculture.org/training/index.html
http://www.ethnomed.org
http://www.diversityrx.org

As well, the last website has a list-serv focused on diversity and health
care with some very good resources.  You might want to check the archives
(volume 8)... the most recent entry from Alexander Green ([log in to unmask])
described an e-learning course for health
professionals on cross cultural learnings.  I've cut and paste the most
relevant information below.

****************************************************

        The program, Quality Interactions: A Patient-Based Approach to
Cross-Cultural Care is a 2-hour, case-based, CME/CEU accredited, e-learning
program. It includes pre- and post-tests, background information on cultural
competence in health care (including frequently asked questions), and three
patients that learners get to access and interact with as they would in a
clinical setting.

           If you are interested in learning more about the program, you can
link to two recent articles--one published in AMA news:
http://www.ama-assn.org/amednews/2004/06/28/prsd0628.htm and another in
Nurse Zone:

. Also, feel free to respond to individually by e-mail to [log in to unmask],

amount of effort was put into this program and hope that it will help to
move the field of cultural competence education another step forward.
