Description
Discusses reasons to include cross-cultural competence in the list of ABA accreditation standards required learning outcomes and barriers to its inclusion (including claimed lack of ability to measure this skill). Outlines medical educators' work to develop and measure their students' cross-cultural competence learning outcomes and discusses initial results from a statistically reliable survey measuring law students' knowledge and attitudes about the role culture plays in the lawyering process. After laying that groundwork, the session engages participants in a discussion of: the cross-cultural competence knowledge, attitudes and skills we want our students to develop; various methods to teach these; and the potential contents of an instrument that could be one measure of students' cross-cultural competence learning.
