At USofCare, we talk a lot about the importance of culturally responsive care (CRC). Seeing a provider with similar life experiences can be validating, affirming, and even life-saving. Unfortunately, for underserved populations, receiving culturally responsive care isn’t a widespread reality just yet. In searching for ways to improve patient access to culturally responsive care, we must look at multiple approaches. While increasing representation in medicine is one, we should also look to medical education to prioritize cultural competence.
