Cultural competency is one of the main tenets of interprofessional education which is key to collaborative practice and cohesive health care service. Intrinsic to cultural competency and the broader concept of cultural safety is the recognition that cultural differences are not judged or defined by the dominant culture, an idea that is applicable to both culturally appropriate health care service and to multicultural and interprofessional education. With the globalization of the health care workforce, clinical teams have become increasingly diverse, yet there is no concrete guidance on cultural considerations in interprofessional education. In this context we conducted two scoping literature reviews and a conceptual study to better understand the impact of global culture on the process and outcomes of interprofessional education and interprofessional learning conversations. In this lightning talk, we present our findings from the literature.
