Cultural Competence
More About: cultural competence
Cultural competence is the knowledge, interpersonal skills and behaviors that enable a system, organization, program, or individual to work effectively cross culturally by understanding, appreciating, honoring, and respecting cultural differences and similarities within and between cultures.
Cultural Competence is not a performance measure, but is a guiding principle across all performance measures.
