Cultural competence has been acknowledged as an important skill for providing good quality care to all people regardless of their cultural background and for contributing towards reducing health disparities. Though there are models for training in cultural competence, integrating it in medical curricula has proven to be challenging.

The paper also explores suggestions for further development.
