Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Cultural Competence
  • Faculty Development

Background:

  • Cultural competence is crucial for health professions educators in diverse settings.
  • Existing faculty development often neglects reflective and adaptive capacities for diverse learning environments.
  • This study evaluated cultural competence development in an international faculty program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine self-perceived changes in cultural competence among health professions educators.
  • To explore learning experiences within a two-year international faculty development program.
  • To identify factors supporting cultural competence development.

Main Methods:

  • Convergent mixed-methods study with 52 health professions educators from 30 universities across three countries.
  • Retrospective pre-post self-assessment survey analyzed with paired-sample t-tests and Cohen's dz.
  • Semi-structured interviews with 13 participants, analyzed using thematic analysis, integrated with quantitative data.

Main Results:

  • Participants reported significant self-perceived gains in cultural understanding (dz=0.77) and communication strategies (dz=0.56).
  • Moderate gains were noted in cultural self-awareness, knowledge, social confidence, persistence, and understanding cultural value frameworks.
  • No significant changes were perceived in stress coping, immediate cultural sensing, or behavioral adaptation.

Conclusions:

  • The faculty development program enhanced self-perceived cultural competence, particularly understanding and communication.
  • The CoLearn Framework models reflective, relational, and situated faculty development.
  • Complex aspects like stress coping and behavioral adaptation may require immersive practice and long-term support.
