Primer on Cultural Competency and Health Literacy: A Guide to Teaching Students in Health Professions and Continuing Education of Practicing Professionals (2013)

Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities, Maryland Department of Health and the Herschel S. Horowitz Center for Health Literacy, University of Maryland College Park recently published a health literacy and cultural competency teaching resources for educators of health professionals. This is an important document because it supports a new conceptual framework that looks to integrate cultural competency and health literacy training of health professionals. CLG member Sabrina Kurtz-Rossi is using this dual pedagogy in a new course she is teaching in spring 2014 at Johns Hopkins University.
