The purpose of the Cultural Competency & Health Literacy – The Aging Population training module is to understand the basic concepts of aging and recognize the diversity of the aging population while learning about the social issues and unique barriers that impact older adults.
The goal of the Cultural Competency & Health Literacy – The Aging Population training module is for partner organizations to acquire the basic tools needed to identify and reduce health disparities and to demonstrate an increased awareness of the important role cultural diversity and health literacy play in delivering services that are responsive to the cultures, language, and literacy needs of an increasingly diverse patient population within the aging community.
At the end of Care Compass Network’s Cultural Competency & Health Literacy – The Aging Population training module, participants will be able to:
• Define and describe cultural competency as it relates to the aging population.
• Define and describe health literacy as it relates to the aging population.
• Recognize the potential consequences of limited understanding of cultural diversity as it relates to the aging population.
