Cultural humility training aims to change racially biased care

To support more equitable care of patients whatever their racial identity, a professor at University of California Davis Health, Sacramento, developed a three-day anti-racism and cultural humility training program for nurse executives and managers. The program is grounded in the context and history of U.S. race relations and aims to build an institution’s capacity to "doggedly pursue equity." Tenets of the program include nurturing a lifelong commitment to self-evaluation and self-critique; redressing power imbalances in the patient-clinician and educator-student dynamics; developing mutually beneficial and non-paternalistic clinical and advocacy partnerships with communities; and stewarding an ongoing organization-level developmental process.
