Description

This study examines the impacts of a skills-based, culturally competent, diabetes care course on self-reported cultural comptence, as measured by a Cultural Competence Assessment Tool, among a controlled trial of primary physicians enrolled in one state's Medicaid program. The study found that while a predominantly skills-based approach to training physicians had little effect on aggregate measures of cultural competence, it did affect their attitudes and behaviours.
