As the first product of the AMA's broad-based Culture Competence Initiative, the Cultural Competence Compendium reflects a comprehensive application of the term "culture." The publication includes resources for health care and communication issues confronting people from underrepresented and underserved racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups and those with physical or mental illnesses and disabilities.
The publication also features resources for children and adolescents, older adults, and people at the end of life, as well as for those dealing with issues related to domestic violence, genetic conditions, organ donation, and sexuality.
