Cultural and Linguistic competence (CLC) has gained attention as a potential strategy to reducing health disparities and achieving health equity in health care. This two part workshop will examine cultural factors that can affect health and health care, such as language, communication styles, beliefs, implicit bias, attitudes, and behaviors. Additionally, it will examine the cultural aspects that are important when serving the Hispanic/Latino community. This workshop will examine how cultural competence can affect delivery of services in your practice and provide tools to identify and overcome barriers to reduce disparities through culturally and linguistically responsive and unbiased quality care.
