Training in multicultural issues is an area of increasing focus in medical education internationally. In the United States specifically, the inclusion of the topic in training programs is among the key criteria established by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) for approval of schools of medicine, where Standard 7.6 deals with "Structural Competence, Cultural Competence, and Health Inequities." This new textbook provides a culturally sensitive framework to address the major elements in the LCME Standard 7.6 and to address related requirements for including multicultural issues in the curriculums of medical schools around the world.
