Using the Self-Assessment of Perceived Level of Cultural Competence (SAPLCC) questionnaire, frequencies, means, and ANOVAS were determined to create medical and pharmacy student profiles of cultural competence. Profiles were used to identify needs for training and underscore critical issues that should be given priority in the curriculum. Significant differences were found in several domains of cultural competence (knowledge, skills, attitudes, and abilities); they may be explained by differences in the implementation of a pilot curriculum, the racial composition of students in both programs, and other characteristics. However, in the awareness domain, the main differences found may be explained only by respondents' attitudes and their personal experiences. Results confirm the importance of examining the racial dynamics factor and the need to address this sensitive topic early in the academic programs so students are prepared more fully to have sincere and meaningful encounters with their patients during the clinical years and as health care providers.
使用文化能力感知水平自我评估（SAPLCC）问卷，确定了频率、均值和方差分析，以创建医学和药学专业学生的文化能力概况。这些概况用于确定培训需求，并强调课程中应优先考虑的关键问题。在文化能力的几个领域（知识、技能、态度和能力）发现了显著差异；这些差异可能由试点课程实施方式的不同、两个项目中学生的种族构成以及其他特征来解释。然而，在意识领域，发现的主要差异可能仅由受访者的态度及其个人经历来解释。结果证实了审视种族动态因素的重要性，以及在学术项目早期就处理这个敏感话题的必要性，以便学生在临床实习期间以及作为医疗服务提供者时，能更充分地准备好与患者进行真诚且有意义的交流。
