The unique, fast-paced path that led Irene Guitierrez, MD, to becoming a residency director was achieved by providing high-quality, patient-centered care that was sensitive to cultural and socioeconomic differences. In this episode, Dr Guitierrez shares multiple ways practitioners can respectfully interact with patients of a diverse Latino community and all cultures through competency and understanding patients’ lives and beliefs. She models how we can identify and manage our own biases and assumptions while gracefully addressing cultural appropriateness in your practice and teaching.
