Cultural Mindfulness for Practitioners

This workshop is over two mornings, Tuesday November 18 and Tuesday November 25, from 9:30 to 11:00am both days.

• Have you faced uncomfortable situations rooted in cultural misunderstanding whether it was with a colleague or a patient?
• Were you unsure of how the misunderstanding even happened?
• This interactive Cultural Mindfulness session introduces the concept of cultural reflection and the sphere of influence to ultimately reduce cultural misunderstandings in your interactions.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

· Understand the meanings of culture and cultural mindfulness as a foundational component in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)

· Understand the concept of Health Equity and the barriers to access healthcare services

· Recognize how personal biases, and the sphere of influence can impact patient centered care
