Description:
The ETHNICS mnemonic (Explanation, Treatment, Healers, Negotiate, Intervention, Collaboration, and Spirituality) provides a framework for cross-cultural interviewing that physicians and other healthcare professionals can use in providing culturally appropriate geriatric care. A didactic session is included based upon the article. In addition, there is a small group facilitator's guide that includes two cases, allowing learners to explore their own health beliefs and utilize the ETHNICS mnemonic in role play.

Effectiveness and Significance of Publication:
|
| The clinical tool and small group facilitator's guide have been used by 158 freshman medical students. However, they are applicable to graduate medical education, fellows, and interdisciplinary healthcare professionals. The need to define and assess optimal strategies for influencing attitudes and facilitating skills development in providing culturally appropriate care is a critical challenge to academic medicine. |
