Teaching Culture and Community in Primary Care: Assessing Learner Needs
Group Exercise • "The faculty and students must demonstrate an understanding of the manner in which people of diverse cultures and belief systems perceive health and illness and respond to various symptoms, diseases, and treatments. Medical students should learn to recognize and appropriately address gender and cultural biases in health care delivery, while considering first the health of the patient." • Why do you think this became a requirement of the LCME in 2000? • What role do community preceptors in meeting it? • What makes this challenging for you as a teacher?
Culture and Community:Goals of the Series • Make explicit to learners your expertise at developing relationships with patients. • Improved patient satisfaction . • Improved patient adherence. • Improved patient outcome. • Provide teaching tools for bridging the gap from medical culture to the cultures of the world. • Patient in cultural context • Patient in community • Provider as patient advocate
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to: Articulate broad definitions of culture Identify two reasons for incorporating objectives on culture in primary care teaching programs Apply a framework for performing a cultural needs assessment in teaching Identify teaching methods and styles that most effectively match the teaching of attitudes Learning Objectives

Assessing Ethnosensitivity CULTURALLY SENSITIVE MINIMIZATION CULTURALLY EGOCENTRIC
Example: The Non-English Speaker “It must be incredibly difficult to get medical care when you don’t know the language.” “Why would he be nervous if I’ve used an interpreter?” “I can’t believe he’s been here for three years and doesn’t speak English. It’s not my problem.”
Assessing Ethnosensitivity ETHNOSENSITIVE FEAR ETHNOCENTRIC
Fear • General • “Other students told me: Be careful! It’s not safe over there.” • Specific • “I’ve never dealt with someone with AIDS. Should I wear gloves and a mask?
Assessing Ethnosensitivity ETHNOSENSITIVE OVERGENERALIZE FEAR ETHNOCENTRIC
Over-generalization • Stereotyping • “She kept using her hands while she talked. She reminded me of my friend’s grandmother. I thought it was Prince Spaghetti Day!” • Culture blindness or denial of difference • “I never thought he could be a drug user. He looks and acts so intelligent.”
Assessing Ethnosensitivity ETHNOSENSITIVE SUPERIORITY OVERGENERALIZE FEAR ETHNOCENTRIC
Superiority • Negative stereotyping • “He was so rude and macho. I don’t understand why Puerto Rican women put up with that.” • Reversal • “American culture is so boring and crude. I find Vietnamese culture fascinating.”
Assessing Ethnosensitivity CULTURALLY SENSITIVE MINIMIZATION ATTITUDINAL NEEDS CULTURALLY EGOCENTRIC
What have you observed? You are observing a 3rd year medical student in his clerkship. You note that while he is technically accurate (always asking the cardinal 7, getting appropriate reviews of systems and performing a focused physical exam), you observe poor bonding with some of the patients.
Hypothesis: Attitude Need Behavior: Hypotheses: You observe poor bonding only occurs with poor patients. His questions seem to lack empathy. • Bias against person on public assistance? • Overwhelmed by needs? • Feel superior? How will you assess your hypotheses?
Teaching culture and community: Assessing attitudes • Know yourself. • Assess your learner. • Work for change

Cultural Humility “Cultural humility incorporates a lifelong commitment to self-evaluation and self-critique, to redressing the power imbalances in the patient-physician dynamic, and to developing mutually beneficial and nonpaternalistic clinical and advocacy partnerships with the communities on behalf of individuals and defined populations.” Tervalon, M and Murray-Garcia J
