Diversity Training Lounge
Diversity is a very broad term that refers to multiple variances of demographics, culture and personality.
In Healthcare, being open to diversity and having an understanding of how provider's bias and worldviews may interfere with patient's is key to establish trust and build a partnership that can lead to effective patient-centered care in a culturally appropriate way.
