Cultural and Linguistic Competency Statement
This activity is in compliance
with California Assembly Bill 1195 which requires
continuing medical education activities with patient care
components to include curriculum in the subjects of
cultural and linguistic competency.
Cultural competency is defined as a set of integrated
attitudes, knowledge, and skills that enables health care
professionals or organizations to care effectively for
patients from diverse cultures, groups, and communities.
Linguistic competency is defined as the ability of a
physician or surgeon to provide patients who do not speak
English or who have limited ability to speak English,
direct communication in the patient’s primary language.
Cultural and linguistic competency was incorporated into
the planning of this activity which will help to clarify
the role of imagery as a primary communication language for
those from other cultures or those who do not speak
English.
