Library Grand RoundsCultural Awareness: Resources That Can Help "Cultural Competency in Health" is defined by the U.S. Office of Minority Health as "health care services that are respectful of and responsive to the health beliefs and practices, and cultural and linguistic needs of diverse patient populations." Dr. Joseph O'Donnell, MD, Professor of Medicine and Senior Advising Dean of Dartmouth Medical School, led a discussion of this important health care issue. Sheila Gorman, MLS, Research and Education Librarian, supported this discussion with a selection of information resources designed to improve the ability of individuals and institutions to understand and meet the health care needs of an increasingly diverse patient population. We explored resources on specific cultures, interpreter services, government funding opportunities, and teaching tools. Library Grand Rounds are a forum for presenting information resources and tools of interest to Dartmouth clinicians.
