I’ve been thinking a lot about cultural competence lately, especially with the diversity of patients we see. I want to make sure I’m truly respecting each patient’s background and not just assuming I understand. Are there any specific courses or resources that have helped you become more culturally aware? I’ve heard about online training programs and seminars, but I’d love recommendations that have made a real impact on your practice. How do you keep up with cultural differences and sensitivities while still providing personalized, effective care?

I have worked with so many different cultures throughout my careers and I think universally the most important aspect is for your pt to know you truly want to provide the best care for them that you can. Tell them you don't ever want to offend them and if you do to please tell you so you don't do it again. Ask questions about the cultures to the receptionists, the nurses, radiology tech etc. In one very culturally sensitive place I worked I asked a lot of questions about issues. I found people that were more than willing to share since my desire was sincere. Go to a public event for a culture. Eat at an ethnic restaurant. Remember this takes the tincture of TIME.
I applaud your concerns to do well with this aspect of care!

Been for a company for over 2years. The executive team is very much a boy's club. There are a few women in management roles but zero ethnicity diversity there. I raised my concern to HR in feb. And they are just now deciding to do something about it. They want me (white female) to put together a diversity committee. Any suggestions on how to go about it? How to attract volunteers to the committee? I want to make sure I get the right people involved in this, to push for changes.

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)

Hello all,

I'm a PA in the PNW working for a private group staffing ED's in several hospitals. Recently the group has asked the PA's to take on a couple new roles (triaging and rapid track from triage i.e. straightforward ESI 4, 5). With these changes the PA's are considering asking for increased pay in the form of an addition of a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to our normal salary. Was wondering if any other PA's in the ED have these in their contracts and at what rate.

-Thanks
