Recorded Symposium Session: Cultural Humility in Nutrition and Dietetics

Food has a comforting impact that can be expressed through a person's culture, emotions, experiences, and background. But when food has a very significant meaning to a patient, dietitians may not understand the cultural importance. This is where cultural humility needs to take place. 

Dietitians can start an engaging cultural humility discussion with their patients by questioning and identifying their own cultural and family values and beliefs. RDs can also begin analyzing their personal biases and assumptions about their patients with different values than themselves. During this presentation, Denine Rogers, MS, RDN, LD, FAND, will discuss how to practice cultural humility, demonstrate a willingness to learn from patients while accepting inherent limitations, and increase self-awareness of biases and misperceptions.
