About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, where we explore innovative courses and their impact on various industries. I'm thrilled to have Dr. Sofia Santos here, an expert in cultural competency for patient advocates. Today, we'll discuss the Executive Certificate in Cultural Competency for Patient Advocates. Let's start, Dr. Santos, by sharing a personal experience that highlights the importance of cultural competency in healthcare. GUEST: Absolutely, host. I once worked with a patient who only felt comfortable speaking in their native language. By understanding their cultural preferences, I could better communicate and advocate for their needs, ensuring they received appropriate care. HOST: That's a powerful example. How does this course address such challenges in healthcare?
