The aim of this study was to describe the development and evaluation of a structured department wide cultural competency curriculum.
Despite numerous organizational policies and statements, social injustice and bias still exist. Our department committed to assist individuals of the entire department to develop foundational knowledge and skills to combat implicit bias and systemic racism through the creation of a cultural competency curriculum. The purpose of this manuscript is to detail our curriculum and the evaluation of its effectiveness.
Using a well-established curriculum development framework, a cultural competency curriculum was developed focusing on knowledge, skills and attitudes at the individual level, for all members of the department. The curriculum was implemented through 6-hour-long sessions over a 9-week period. Effectiveness was assessed through a post curriculum survey.
Twenty percent of the respondents had experienced bias based on race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation in the past 12 months, whereas 30% had experienced bias based on sex. Seventy-one percent independently explored related topics. The curriculum was overall well received and generally achieved the goals and objectives.
Using a standard curriculum development framework, an effective department-wide cultural competency curriculum can be developed and implemented.
本研究旨在描述一个结构化的部门范围文化能力课程的发展和评估。
尽管有许多组织政策和声明，但社会不公正和偏见仍然存在。我们的部门致力于通过创建一个文化能力课程来帮助整个部门的个人发展基础知识和技能，以打击隐性偏见和系统性种族主义。本文的目的是详细说明我们的课程及其效果评估。
使用成熟的课程开发框架，为部门的所有成员制定了一项侧重于个人层面知识、技能和态度的文化能力课程。该课程通过为期 9 周的 6 小时课程实施。通过课程后的调查评估效果。
20%的受访者在过去 12 个月中经历过基于种族、族裔或性取向的偏见，而 30%的受访者经历过基于性别的偏见。71%的人独立探讨了相关话题。该课程总体上受到好评，并且基本达到了目标。
使用标准的课程开发框架，可以开发和实施有效的部门范围文化能力课程。
