Article Abstract
Background: Several factors contribute to surgical outcome disparities, including structural racism and implicit bias. Research into how surgical residency programs intervene on Cultural Complications via education remains sparse. We review the literature for how surgical residency programs use education to combat staff and patient exposure to Cultural Complications.
Methods: We searched PubMed, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar for curricula aimed at improving cultural competency in surgical residencies. OBGYN curricula were included. Non-US studies were excluded.
Results: Studies were organized by intervention type: Didactic, Grand Rounds, and M&M. The most common interventions were Didactics, with Grand Rounds being the least common. Target measures improved anywhere from 20-88%.
Conclusions: The common types of cultural competency curricula are clear, and certain interventions show improvement in trainees' education. Scarcity of data on these curricula does not necessarily indicate their lack of existence but does suggest additional research is needed into curricular interventions and how they may address cultural complications.

Practicing cultural humility has been proposed as a tool for advancing equity through improved understanding of cultural factors that may impact a patient's healthcare.

"Cultural Safety, a decolonizing approach critical of the research conceptual frameworks and of care practices in nursing, has enjoyed since its emergence in the 1990s a growing success in New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Being reworked and adapted to new contexts, its political dimension however loses its importance, raising concerns about Cultural Safety's potential for systemic transformation and the fight against health inequalities affecting Indigenous peoples. At the heart of this debate lies the question of "culture" as a means of patient emancipation vis-à-vis the norms of the dominant society and the expertise of caregivers, a debate we seek to clarify in this article.

This manuscript examines how home visiting by educators aligns with and informs culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogy (CR-SP) through the lens of developmental theory. Drawing on a synthesis of multiple qualitative studies, we analyze evidence of home visiting's influence on four dimensions of CR-SP: teachers' beliefs, dispositions, instructional practices, and integration of family and community knowledge. We find the strongest alignment between home visiting and teacher beliefs, including enhanced self-reflection, cultural competence, and asset-based thinking.

Objective: Communication skills assessment (CSA) is essential for ensuring competency, guiding educational practices and safeguarding regulatory compliance in health professions education (HPE). However, there appears to be heterogeneity in the reporting of validity evidence from CSA methods across the health profession that complicates our interpretation of the quality of assessment methods. Our objective was to map reliability and validity evidence from scores of CSA methods that have been reported in HPE.
