TOPIC: Teaching Health Care Students About Disability Within a Cultural Competency Context
LECTURE SUMMARY
In 2013, 6 ADHCE members, on behalf of the Alliance, published a commentary in Disability and Health Journal contending that:
(1) Cultural competency provides a useful conceptual framework for teaching students in the health professions about disability;
(2) Educational experiences can be structured to reflect the socio-cultural complexity of the 'disability culture'; and
(3) A set of desired culturally-based competencies can be defined regarding health care professional's approach to members of the disability culture.
The paper described the use of an existing health care cultural competency framework in identifying competencies for serving patients who have disabilities emphasizing:
- Value of exposing students to the lived experience of persons with disabilities in their home environment
- Need to consider multiple interacting cultural influences
- Impact of professionals' recognition of themselves as potential (or current) members of the disability culture.
