RAD 412 — Diversity and Cultural Competence Units: 3
Health care providers work in an increasingly diverse and complex global community. Health care providers must interact respectfully with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, who may hold different beliefs and values. Issues of diversity affect radiologic technologists' interactions with individuals such as patients and the health care team. Leaders in health care must promote and enforce cultural competence within the facility to ensure patients receive the most appropriate, individually- specific care.
