Interventions

PACTS curriculumother

The cultural dexterity curriculum, known as PACTS (Provider Awareness Cultural Dexterity Toolkit for Surgeons) focuses on developing cognitive skills to adapt to individual patients' needs to ensure personal, patient-centered surgical care. The curriculum is comprised of four educational modules on establishing trust in the physician-patient relationship, communicating effectively with patients with limited English proficiency, discussing informed consent, and issues surrounding pain management. Each module consists of an independent learning activity, an interactive role-play, and a post-lesson assessment.

Standard Residency Curriculumother

The standard residency curriculum consists of previously scheduled resident didactic sessions at all academic medical centers that may or may not include topics on cultural competency or cross-cultural care.
