Abstract
Health professions educators often utilize cultural competency and cultural humility constructs in health professions pedagogy. In 2018, Campinha-Bacote introduced the Process of Cultural Competemility in the Delivery of Healthcare Services model an amalgam of both cultural competency and humility to support health professionals' meaningful and impactful relationships with patients and institutions to advance the delivery of quality and equitable care. There is minimal research exploring cultural competemility in educational settings as a relatively new concept. This qualitative hermeneutic, interpretative phenomenological study aims to expand this knowledge by investigating faculty's lived experience facilitating diverse students, who are interested in health professions, using cultural competemility constructs in educational settings. Ten health professions faculty members were interviewed utilizing probing questions to uncover how they engage diverse students in the classroom. Campinha-Bacote's Process of Cultural Competemility in the Delivery of Healthcare Services model served as an interpretative conceptual framework. The study participants reconfirmed the appeal to expand culturally responsive practices beyond cultural competency alone. Additionally, the research study revealed that although the participating faculty may not have priorly known the five components of cultural competency (cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, cultural desire, and cultural encounters), these components were instinctively executed as evidenced by their responses. The study participants reconfirmed how cultural humility pervades cultural competency and its five components. Recommendations derived from study findings entail possible implications to teaching practice and research in relation to faculty and student relations as well as culturally responsive learning environments in health professions education.
