part 1
In your initial post, consider your current workplace. What diverse and/or marginalized patient populations do you encounter? What types of training/education do you receive to help meet these patients’ cultural and healthcare needs? Discuss a situation where you felt that you needed more training/education to be able to provide appropriate, culturally sensitive care to a patient or patient group. If you have not personally been in such a situation, discuss a hypothetical situation where this would be the case.

part 2
Discuss your experiences with caring for diverse and/or marginalized populations. Discuss several similarities and differences in these populations you have cared for. Take a position on what can be done in the workplace to help ensure adequate training and preparation to care for diverse populations. Provide a rationale for your position.
