Cultural competency program for physicians available by computer - Damon Adams, AMNews
A training and research organization hopes to expand a computer-based program that teaches doctors and other medical professionals about cultural competence. Manhattan Cross Cultural Group, formed by three internists, said it had trained more than 1,500 Aetna physicians and nurses through its program, "Quality Interactions: A Patient-Based Approach to Cross-Cultural Care." The program is not yet available to other physicians, but the group is working on agreements to offer the interactive course to more doctors.... In September 2003, Aetna began offering the e-learning program to its medical professionals. So far, about 95% of Aetna's physicians and nurses on clinical staff have completed the required course.
