Description

Education that promotes the development of cultural humility and cultural responsive clinical work among healthcare providers may help address healthcare disparities faced by underserved and minority populations. Community Engagement Experiences and directed self-reflection may be pedagogical techniques best suited to address this area growth with healthcare providers. This study examined a Community Engagement Experience and directed self-reflection teaching strategy’s effect on the development of cultural humility among student behavioral health providers. Masters level student participants (N = 7), engaged in a Community Engagement Experience providing mental healthcare to an underserved population in 2023. Participant reported experiences were synthesized into four categories: self-reflection, acclimation, service work, and growth. Results indicate Community Engagement Experiences paired with directed self-reflection to be a promising teaching modality in the development of cultural humility with behavioral health providers and other healthcare professionals. Implications and areas of future inquiry are discussed.
