Galanti | Cultural Diversity in Healthcare

Last updated: February 13, 2015

The 5th edition of my book, Caring for Patients From Different Cultures, is available!

I've posted a link to the culture tutorial I designed for medical students and residents. It can be used, however, by anyone interested in the intersection of culture and health. There are brief (3-15 minute) tutorials on Stereotypes vs. Generalizations; Dimensions of Culture; the 4 C's of Culture; Time Orientation; Removing Life Support; and Revealing a Fatal Diagnosis.

Two new workshop topics are available: Improving Patient Adherence and Cultural Issues in Oncology. See Workshops: Topics.

A new edition of my Cultural Sensitivity booklet is available from Joint Commission Resources.

See an interview with me at PhysicianCrossroads.com.

I've posted a new article I've co-authored on providing culturally competent healthcare. You can download it from the "Articles" page. Note that it was published in a European journal, hence, the British spelling!

I've added a link to order free copies of the excellent Provider's Handbook Series on Culturally Competent Care from Kaiser. You can find it on the Resources page.

I'm very pleased to announce that I am the recipient of an Outstanding Teacher Award for Clinical Faculty Teaching, given by the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA for my work in the Doctoring Program.

9 hour CME course on Culture and Healthcare by Geri-Ann Galanti and Civility Mutual, offered through PerforMax3. Look under Resources for further info.

Resource available to help hospitals orient foreign born nurses to American hospital culture. Look under Resources for further info.

To access:

30 case studies of conflicts and misunderstandings in healthcare settings due to cultural differences, click on Case Studies.

Reports on culture and healthcare in other countries and in American hospitals, click on Field Reports
