Healthcare Management Module (HCM102) — Cultural Competency and Diversity Issues

Healthcare Management Certificate Program

As the world becomes more inclusive and we interact more than ever before with others from unfamiliar cultures, we are increasingly challenged to be creative and effective as managers. Since success in management relies heavily on the performance of employees, good leaders will seek ways to capitalize on the strengths of all coworkers and to embrace the teamwork that ensues. In this class, you will learn foundational skills to apply to multicultural relationships in your workplace. You will examine your personal culture and apply the knowledge in your role as a manager or supervisor who works with people of many cultures in a healthcare setting.

Each course is supported by an experienced, highly qualified instructor who will check on your progress every 72 hours and provide supportive feedback on your lessons by email.
