To develop and assess a cultural competence elective course used to increase students' levels of awareness, acceptance, and understanding of the role of culture on healthcare perceptions.
Classroom and at-home assignments were designed, small group discussions were conducted, and guest speakers were recruited to allow students to explore different viewpoints about other cultures.
Student performance was assessed based on assignments and participation in class discussions. Student satisfaction with the course was assessed using a standard course evaluation form.
