AB The  social  and  cultural  diversity  of  our  society  is  nowhere  more  evident  than  in  health  care  practice.  Because  illness  beliefs  and  behavior  are  so  influenced  by  culture,  and  because  establishing  a  trust  relationship  with  patients  is  so  important  for  effective  treatment,  today’s  student  clinicians  must  acquire  the  knowledge,  skills,  and  attitudes  needed  to  understand  and  respond  effectively  to  their  patients’  cultural  differences.  In  recent  years  such  cultural  competence  has  become  a  byword  in  health  care  education.
