Cultural competency is for some a new buzzword that has become prevalent in many different institutions and professions. Cultural competency in medicine however is something that has emerged during a time when there was not a focus on diversity issues in the United States. What is cultural competency? What is structural competency? Why do doctors need it? Does it really have an impact on healthcare outcomes? Helping us discuss this topic today is returning guest Dr. Oni Blackstock.

Hosted by Malik Seelal, Steve Kramer and Sydney Pinn.
