RCSI offers our staff and students a unique multicultural environment in which to work and learn. We are dedicated to “developing healthcare leaders who make a difference worldwide” and the ability to engage appropriately and effectively with people of all cultures is an essential element of this. This online training course introduces the topics of cultural awareness and cross cultural communication and focuses on encouraging shared attitudes and behaviours in relation to issues of culture. At the end of the course you will be required to take a short quiz and on successfully passing this quiz you can print a certificate of completion which entitles you to .5 CPD points.
This online course is one of a range of learning opportunities and supports available across RCSI in the area of cultural competence. Details of these supports and further resources to assist your learning are available on this dedicated page on the staff portal. If you have further ideas, suggestions or feedback on this topic we’d be delighted to hear from you – please email culturalcompetence@rcsi.ie
