Cultural sensitivity is one of our most important skills in a globalizing world of medical education. The speakers an Indian living in the US, a medical doctor from Uruguay and a Swiss working around the globe provide insight into the process of how culturally diverse teams can develop organizational structures, systems and educational activities that fit the needs of their culturally diverse learners and ultimately their patients.

Learning Objectives:

• The participants will be able to be aware of their own level of cultural sensitivity; apply the process as described by the speakers to their own setting (organizational structures, planning processes)
• The participants will be able to ensure practical translation of the principles of cultural sensitivity in a way that would support the development
• The participants will be able to implement medical education and accreditation initiatives in a global context
