Assignment: Diveristy
The United States has become more diverse now than ever before and will even be more diverse in the years to come. You now have to work closely with others from different backgrounds; in the field of medicine, physicians will care for patients whose race, ethnicity, and language are often different from their own. As healthcare managers/leaders, knowing and identifying the needs of different cultures, and being sensitive to all needs is very important. The time is changing and embracing diversity is critical when it comes to healthcare.
