Show Notes

Integrate indigenous strategies and cultural practices to create a more prosperous and sustainable healthcare organization.

Dr. Sanchez shares how he has developed bicultural competence and his perspective on how our healthcare system can grow from cultural encapsulation toward cultural competence and sensitivity. He also explores how healthcare leaders can work to retain ethnic minority trainees and professionals by creating space for indigenous and ethnic minority values. 

Finally, he reminds us that while there may not be one clear solution to all healthcare challenges, we can work together to do our part to create transformation.
