Tell us how you will use what you have learned:
- The cultural competency continuum was very interesting and gave me some great insight on my own competency.
- I loved the pre-test/post-test model and the self-reflection exercises.
- I will use this to engage my community and to learn how I can best serve them and how we can work together.
- I watched #1, the lecture from the course about diversity and cultural competency in public health. I will be able to ask myself and my organization if our practices are built in such a way that it is clear that every child matters.
- I almost didn't watch this video because it required registering for a course--are there ways to make the video even more easily accessible? I'm not likely to use the course "credit" for anything.
