The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has begun an initiative to assess education in cultural competence in the undergraduate medical school curriculum in accordance with the objectives set by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). The AAMC has developed an instrument to measure cultural competence education for medical students called Tool for
Assessing Cultural Competence Training (TACCT). In conjunction with TACCT, the AAMC has created useful resource guides and bibliographies on cultural competence. You may link to them from the Library’s Web site. Go to http://library.aecom.yu.edu/resources/resource.htm and click on Cultural Competence.
