Ohio state senator revives bill requiring culture classes for health workers
http://www.medcitynews.com/2011/02/ohio-state-senator-revives-bill-requiring-culture-classes-for-health-workers/
A newly elected Ohio Democratic state senator has become the latest to push a legislative proposal that would require “cultural competency” classes for healthcare workers.

The proposed law, Senate Bill 60, would apply to a wide variety of state-licensed and -certified professionals, including physicians, nurses, dentists, optometrists and pharmacists.

The latest proposal marks the fourth time in roughly seven years that the “cultural competency” classes law has been introduced. This time around, Sen. Charleta Tavares, D-Columbus, is the bill’s sponsor.

“Understanding the race, culture and ethnicity of the population you’re serving ensures that you’re providing the most appropriate service for that individual,” Tavares said.

I wonder if that cultural training also includes instruction for black healthcare workers to better understand white race and culture? (crickets chirping)
