Essentials of Cultural Competence in Pharmacy Practice 1st Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 4 ratings

Both student pharmacists and pharmacists practicing in today's multicultural world will benefit from this book on improving cultural competence. It is designed for readers to explore their own cultural background and the health care needs inherent across cultures, as well as to hone communication and competency skills needed to work effectively with patients and other health care providers from diverse cultures. The text is divided into four parts: Exploring and Assessing Cultural Competence, A Primer on Cultures, Cultural Identity and Communication, and Cultural Competence Resources.

Self-assessment exercises throughout the book enable readers to learn more about their own cultural background and beliefs. Essentials of Cultural Competence in Pharmacy Practice provides an understanding of many cultures in the United States and of diagnoses, disease states, and epidemiology that affect patients from diverse cultural backgrounds. Expansive appendices provide practical, easily accessible lists of print, Internet, and film resources.

    Interesting book I guess. Bought it for pharmacy school, but I was dumb. It's available online for free through the school's library page.
