Yes, this is a very good question for people working in the public
health arena, education, & social workers. I work in the public health
arena, and have yet to see such a program, I have seen attempts by
organizations and especially in the public health the attempts are
called best practices. AAP & AAFP calls it "medical home", "social
marketing". 


Being a chairman for Indian Education & Johnson O'Malley in Minnesota
the committee struggled to enlighten educators and those who wanted to
learn or understand native americans.


Public Health and education don't make culturally competence mandatory
but rather has CEU's, CUE's has I understand them are what the provider
or educator wants to focus on, not the focus of the patient or student.

Education and Public Health have many forms of CEU's in cultural
compentence which I don't think work.

I am a enrolled Native American, & practice traditional health &
langauge & I am not culturally competent. They are many models of
compentency if you would like I could send you many, many more.

Hello list members,

The org I work for is embarking on doing 'something' in the area of
cultural diversity/cultural competence. We are health promoters in
maternal, newborn and early child development. We may be developing a
resource guide, manual, coordinating a conference, or creating a
website. 
It's all up for discussion at this early stage, however, we are asking
ourselves the question "What *is* cultural competence for service
providers? What does it mean to be culturally competent?

I've done some online research and visited some great sites, but I
thought it might be interesting to see what kinds of responses come from
NAME. 
Though we are in health promotion, education is clearly part of that.

I'll collect responses and post a summary back to the list.

TIA for your ideas and contributions,

ZS.
