Global migration patterns have led to increasingly diverse populations, and physicians must learn to work effectively with patients from diverse backgrounds. However, some aspects of medical education may actually reinforce the idea that physicians do not need to take social and cultural differences into consideration in their work. In order to train physicians who are capable of providing quality care to patients from diverse backgrounds, it will be important to integrate the concept of cultural competence into all aspects of medical training, such that it will cease to be perceived as an "optional" aspect of medicine.
全球移民模式导致了人口日益多样化，医生必须学会与来自不同背景的患者有效合作。然而，医学教育的某些方面实际上可能强化了这样一种观念，即医生在工作中无需考虑社会和文化差异。为了培养能够为来自不同背景的患者提供高质量护理的医生，将文化能力的概念融入医学培训的各个方面非常重要，这样它就不会再被视为医学的一个“可选”方面。
