Cultural competency education in the medical curriculum to overcome health care disparities.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Our increasingly diverse population demands the adoption of transcultural approaches to health care delivery. Training courses in medical education have been developed across the country for cultural competency, but have not been standardized or incorporated consistently. This study sought to formulate an educational intervention in medical training using the concepts of cultural competency and humility to improve understanding of cultural disparities in health care. Methods: This study used three domains of Tools for Assessing Cultural Competence Training (TACCT) by the Association of American Medical Colleges. Participants included 106 fourth-year medical students and 19 internal medicine residents at Louisiana State University in Shreveport in 2022. The training session included a lecture introducing cultural and structural competency for 30 minutes followed by three workshops based on the TACCT domains of key aspects of cultural competence, understanding the impact of stereotyping on medical decision-making, and cross-cultural clinical skills. The participants were given a pre- and postsession questionnaire. Results: After the session, 68% of students rated their understanding of cultural competency as excellent. For methods of teaching-lecture versus workshop versus both-66% rated the combination as excellent. Conclusion: The rudimentary understanding of cultural competency and cultural humility improved after the session.
