Cultural Proficiency Guidelines

The AAFP believes in working to address the health and educational needs of our many diverse populations. Informational or CME material and programs should promote cultural proficiency, be sensitive to the issues of special populations of patients and physicians, and address specific health issues as they relate to special populations. Additional information and examples can be found in the Cultural Proficiency Resources section of the AAFP Web site. (March Board, 2001) (2004)
