This week, you will consider your own cultural background and how it impacts the care you provide to your patients.

Then, address the following questions on the template provided.  

1. Define and describe health inequalities. How would you advocate for patients, families, and communities? 
2. Discuss your results for each of the test (a brief response for all 6 of the tests). 
3. Discuss if you are culturally competent or have cultural humility. Or are you not there yet? Why? What are your next steps?
