Abstract

It is not possible for every physician and patient to originate from the exact same circumstances. Because of this impossibility, the dynamics between the patient, caregivers, and physician are extremely important to prevent mistrust, disputes, de-emphasizing the values of others, or miscommunication. Similar to how many diverse groups exist in society so, too, are there numerous factors for influencing how medical care is provided and received. Multiple studies demonstrate the inequalities of access and quality of health care in pediatric primary care as well as increased morbidity and mortality rates. This may be even more prevailing within racial and ethnic communities, which are often underserved populations. This article presents an evaluation of cultural humility and how the awareness of differing viewpoints, values, and norms can assist and improve the medical care of pediatric patients with chronic complex conditions.
