This study introduces a faculty development program for clinical faculty on cultural competence and advocacy education. The program successfully integrated cultural competency training into existing faculty development for community preceptors.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Cultural Competence Training

Background:

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education mandates cultural diversity training in medical curricula.
There is a need for faculty development programs to train clinical faculty in cultural competence and advocacy.
This paper details the initial development of a cultural competence curriculum for community preceptors.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the development and implementation of a faculty-development program focused on cultural competence and advocacy education.
To assess the integration of this curriculum into the training of community preceptors from multiple medical schools.

Main Methods:

The program, "Teaching the Culture of the Community," comprised four 2.5-hour modules.
Modules included interactive lectures and role-play exercises on cultural needs assessment, patient-centered interviewing, and feedback on cultural issues.

The curriculum was delivered to 137 community preceptors from 13 medical schools in New England and New York over two years (1999-2000 and 2000-2001).

Main Results:

The curriculum received a high level of acceptance from participants.
Participants reported intentions to change their clinical care and teaching practices.
Changes were most frequently planned in areas related to effective communication skills.

Conclusions:

Cultural competency training was successfully integrated into a faculty-development program for community-based preceptors.
The program demonstrates a viable model for enhancing cultural competence among clinical faculty.
The findings suggest that such training can lead to self-reported intentions to modify clinical and teaching practices.
