    Using Critical Race Theory: An Analysis Of Cultural Differences In Healthcare Education
    (Midwest Research-to-Practice Conference in Adult, Continuing, and Community Education, 2003) Coello, Helena M.; Casanas, Jorge A.; Rocco, Tonette S.; Parsons, Michael D.
    Critical Race Theory (CRT) was used as a lens of analysis to examine cultural competency in healthcare. Fourteen articles were found related to race/ethnicity and equity. Four themes emerged from our thematic analysis, which were cultural differences, access to healthcare, healthcare disparities, and healthcare education. It is evident that disparities do exist within healthcare and vary among cultures. The healthcare industry must continue to address issues of race, ethnicity and equity through cultural competency. Although there is no simple solution to achieve cultural competency, it can be fostered within healthcare practitioners and education to change the way different cultures are viewed. Healthcare institutions and healthcare professionals must bridge the gaps that still exist between individuals to provide fair, equal and impartial care.
