Cultural Sensitivity: A Guide for Physicians and Healthcare Professionals from Doctors in Touch, Inc.
The physicians who work with VISTA tell us that one of the best parts of being a locum tenens is treating people from all walks of life. We can't think of anything more important than helping those physicians make the most of every patient encounter. That's why we've teamed with Doctors in Touch, Inc., to provide this quick-reference guide.In the forward, Michael Woods, MD, practicing surgeon and leader of Doctors in Touch, says, "When it comes to healthcare, the U.S. might have great technology and dedicated, intelligent doctors, but these advantages are lost if our patients can't understand the 'why' and 'what' of their care." A stereotype, he continues, is an ending point that usually has negative results. But a generalization is a beginning point, an opportunity to understand common behaviors and shared beliefs that impact the way care is received. A must read for the traveling physician!
