The Power of Culture

Today UCA’s Dietetic Interns spent the day learning about culture. Cultural competence, cultural awareness, tolerance, hidden bias, diversity – all terms essential for a health practitioner’s vocabulary. Students explored their own personal biases and learned about implicit privilege. Then, they ate a lunch with dishes from around the world. During lunch students wore glasses to mimic what vision is like as we age.  What a day!

“We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race.”
–Kofi Annan
