Cultural competence and cultural humility are pillars of an equitable healthcare system; one that is sensitive to patient diversity and embraces clinician-patient communication that supports mutual trust and shared decision-making.

Presenters review how cultural competence and humility empower healthcare providers to bridge gaps and eliminate disparities in epilepsy care by challenging providers to reflect on and self-evaluate their own biases. Participants will learn to spot implicit biases, look critically at treatment plans to ensure fair treatment of all patients, and adapt communication strategies in an effort to eliminate bias and address inherent power imbalances between themselves and their patients.

This 60-minute, 1.0 CME webinar provides actionable recommendations for practicing cultural competence and humility in epilepsy care settings to improve outcomes for all patients.

Upon completion of this webinar, learners will be able to:

• Define cultural competence and humility 
• Describe why cultural competence and humility are critical to creating equitable and inclusive healthcare services and systems
• Identify, examine, and challenge cultural assumptions, values, and beliefs 
• Discuss methods to redress power imbalances in epilepsy care settings
