为了应对日益增长的民族多样性以及认证机构的要求，美国医学院的文化能力项目激增。尽管此类培训项目的共同目标是改善医患沟通和减少健康差异，但它们在内容、重点、设置和持续时间方面往往有所不同。此外，跨文化医学培训可能不会出现在学生的临床轮换中，而这可能是最相关和最令人难忘的。在本文中，作者提出了加强医学院文化能力教育的一些要素。这种“文化能力处方”旨在促进在整个医学院培训中采取积极、综合的方法来解决多元文化问题。
Cultural competence programs have proliferated in U.S. medical schools in response to increasing national diversity, as well as mandates from accrediting bodies. Although such training programs share common goals of improving physician-patient communication and reducing health disparities, they often differ in their content, emphasis, setting, and duration. Moreover, training in cross-cultural medicine may be absent from students' clinical rotations, when it might be most relevant and memorable. In this article, the authors recommend a number of elements to strengthen cultural competency education in medical schools. This "prescription for cultural competence" is intended to promote an active and integrated approach to multicultural issues throughout medical school training.
