Several models of service delivery have emerged to meet the challenges of providing culturally responsive and equable services to our growing multicultural world. However, despite these service delivery models, healthcare professionals continue to ask the question, “What does it mean to be a culturally competent healthcare professional?” In this presentation, Dr. Campinha-Bacote answers this question by taking healthcare professionals on a personal journey towards cultural competemility in healthcare delivery. This journey includes examining her practice model of cultural competence, The Process of Cultural Competemility in the Delivery of Healthcare Services. Dr. Campinha-Bacote discusses clinical application of the model’s constructs of cultural humility, cultural desire, cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, & cultural encounters. It is the intent of this workshop to provide healthcare providers, administrators, educators, researchers and consumers with a model of cultural competence for positively impacting on the quality of healthcare services in a culturally relevant manner.

By the completion of this seminar the learner will be able to:

1. Discuss an overview of cultural competency in healthcare delivery
2. Discuss the "cultural competence vs cultural humility debate"
3. Define cultural competemility in healthcare delivery
4. Discuss the six components of cultural competemility in healthcare delivery
