In partnership with the Language and Cultural Services team, the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) puts on an annual one-day conference around cultural competency. The conference is open to the public. Topics include social determinants of health, human trafficking, creating a superior patient experience, and more. Continuing medical, nursing, and pharmacy educational credits are offered through our Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) office. Registration through IPCE can be found here. 

DEI and Language and Cultural Services works with Education to release a computer-based training for all caregivers each year. Topics have included cultural competency tips, LGBTQ+ inclusive language, and caring for Hispanic/Latinx populations.

Diversity Week provides caregivers the opportunity to celebrate the differences that make Intermountain strong. Diversity Week consists of speakers, community service, multicultural menus, and prize giveaways.

This extensive guide can help our caregivers meet the needs of our diverse patients, members, and consumers. The purpose is to set a foundation for caregivers to increase awareness about the backgrounds and expectations of those Intermountain serves in order to provide safe, high-quality healthcare to all populations.
