The effectiveness of training student physicians in culturally sensitive patient care using an interprofessional culturally competent curriculum
Based on the previously mentioned findings, we can deduce that Master's students showed an improvement in cultural competency skills after attending a cultural competency course for MS, although the first-year DO student physicians did not show any significant change in cultural competency skills after taking an IPE cultural competency curriculum. Based upon the results from both the DO and MS students, the establishment and inclusion of a cultural competency class with a developed curriculum is crucial for reducing bias and addressing medical-based discrimination.
