Paramedic/EMS Instructor Southwest Tennessee Community College Medina, Tennessee
Description: America has always been a country of open arms to welcome those who wish to come here to her shores. It is; however, inappropriate to conclude that these people groups should abandon their traditions and cultural values when they arrive. EMS personnel are often their first encounter with medical personnel, and EMS providers can establish the tone for their continued care. We will review multiple cultures found in our service areas and the special needs found in some of those groups.
Learning Objectives:
• Define “culture” and the need for cultural competence in EMS
