Description

Karen Bullock and Kim Stansbury describe a training program in cultural competence for serious illness care teams in this 2023 paper. Older patients from historically excluded racial groups face deep inequities in care for serious illness. The program teaches interdisciplinary teams through simulation and role play. Its aim is goal concordant, patient centered care: treatment that matches what the patient actually wants. Social workers with advanced training anchored the teaching teams, modeling psychosocial assessment that goes past surface curiosity.

The authors frame competence as awareness, knowledge, and skill woven together, a step beyond humility alone. They argue the pandemic sharpened the need, since its harms fell hardest on the same groups. A social justice frame guides the curriculum design. The reported outcome is that learners finished ready to address racial inequities in care.
