Application:
The Outcomes Of A Culturally Competent Curriculum (OCCC) is a tool designed to evaluate the existence of cultural concepts taught in a health professions’ curriculum and/or to provide an outcome-based template to develop a culturally competent curriculum. It is specifically intended for the following health professions: Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Physical Therapy, and Occupational Therapy. With modifications, the OCCC can be used with other allied health professions.

Description:
The OCCC is based Campinha-Bacote’s model, The Process of Cultural Competemility in the Delivery of Healthcare Services, and is comprised of behavioral items/outcomes addressing the six constructs of cultural humility, cultural awareness, cultural desire, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, and cultural encounters.

Development Of The Instrument:
The OCCC was developed by Dr. Campinha-Bacote in 2008 while working as a consultant on several HRSA grants whose objective was to evaluate or develop health professions' curriculums for the presence/absence of cultural content.

Obtaining the OCCC©: The OCCC is currently only available through onsite or offsite consultation. Dr. Campinha-Bacote will provide you with 30 minutes of free consultation to allow you to explore if the OCCC will meet with your research/practice needs, as well as provide you with an estimated cost.  Contact Dr. Campinha-Bacote at 513-604-0843 or email her at meddir@aol.com for more information.
