As 2015 is coming to a close, we would like to thank Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (Case CCC) research community for reviewing our Cultural Competency Series features, both in Newsletters and on the website. We are planning to continue the Series next year on a quarterly basis, so please keep checking the Newsletter and the website for new information. Several of the features provided Continuing Research Education Credits (CRECs) and these can be accessed at: https://case.edu/research/faculty-staff/education/crec_video/
We hope that we have met at least some of the main objectives for Cultural Competency Series and provided Case CCC investigators and research staff opportunities to develop different skill sets, to engage in a meaningful dialogue about the importance of cultural competency in the context of health care and research, and to facilitate concepts of self-reflection and self-critique. We will continue striving to raise awareness and acceptance of the dynamic variety of people and communities the Case CCC serves, and to provide the Case CCC clinical research staff with unique learning experiences and skills to conduct culturally competent research.
Questions, suggestions and feedback about the Cultural Competency Series should be directed to Katarzyna Karelus at katarzyna.karelus@case.edu or 216-844-4176.
