Learn to identify and describe cultural foods and food practices of diverse populations, develop strategies to integrate cultural foods and practices into counseling and education, and apply cultural competence principles to improve communication and build rapport with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
During this interactive culinary demonstration attendees will have the opportunity to explore culturally diverse foods and discuss their nutritional benefits. Ashley and Jasmine will also highlight resources and tools that enhance cultural competency in the healthcare field. Most importantly, this dynamic duo will address the impact cultural values, beliefs, and attitudes have on a client’s food choices and eating behaviors.
