This guide provides resources related to cultural competency, structural competency, and cultural humility, as well as racism and bias in clinical practice.
Significant criticisms of cultural competency have been raised. However, the phrase is still in use and is commonly searched. We continue to use this title after examination of search trends and terminology across websites and presentations.
We do not proclaim to be experts in these areas and hope to improve this guide with community input. Please contact us at himmelfarb@gwu.edu to discuss additional/alternative titles and resources.
