In this discussion, you will examine the importance of culture and personal beliefs on population health and explore your cultural sensitivity. Following the example of the timeline on page 6 of Chapter 1 of Cultural Sensibility in Healthcare: A Personal & Professional Guidebook, identify three situations in your timeline that led you to a career in healthcare. Then, list five influences on your life that may inform your cultural sensitivity. How have you used cultural sensitivity to avoid a cultural clash in your personal or professional life? Why is it important for individuals working in health professions to be culturally sensitive? How can cultural insensitivity impact healthcare systems?
