Key Takeaways
  • Factors such as poverty and low access to education and healthcare are primary contributors to healthcare-related disparities among US sociocultural and economic minorities.
  • Cultural competency gives physicians a skill set for working with patients of various cultural backgrounds in order to ensure better health outcomes.

As a resident, you may be privy to the very real effects that social determinants of health have on certain patients. A patient’s language and culture, after all, are known indicators of the quality of care they will likely receive from healthcare providers—and racial and ethnic minorities often suffer as a result.
One way to improve patient care for minorities is by practicing cultural competence and cultural safety.
