Cultural competence in health care
[edit]- ... that in the United States, some physicians are required to obtain cultural competency training?

- Comment: I know this submission is a day late but I recently moved and had no internet (that's my excuse). Also, this page was created as a GLAM/Rutgers project, so the article creator was Wkinforocks and I am assisting as the Wikipedian-in-Residence.

- A1: The article is new.
- A2: It is long enough.
- A3: It fails to follow all our policies and guidelines. In particular, it lacks an neutral tone, seeming too tendentious and promotional. For example, "organizations should include these considerations in all aspects of policy making"; "As more and more immigrants are coming to America..."; "an organization must acknowledge the importance of cultures"; "This is a very good resource for health care systems...". Also, the section Cultural competence in various Disciplines consists of nothing but headings and a bare outline like that is frowned on at DYK. Moreover, it seems too ironic that an article about cross-cultural understanding should limit its scope to the USA.
- H1: The hook length is fine.
- H2: The hook content seems ok and has adequate citation support.
- O1: The QPQ was done.
- O2: There's no image suggested to go with the hook though the lead image seems free of problems.
- A1: The article is new.
In conclusion, the page seems to need a substantial copy edit to improve its tone before it will pass. It may also require more content to address the significant problems of medical ethics and policy which can arise. For example, see this case study in which the culturally-sensitive solution to a mental health issue was to allow the grandmother to perform an exorcism and blessing.

- I think if the US-centric nature of the article is a problem for DYK nomination, then it is best to close it. We will continue to work on this article, but it will likely take time. static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 13:01, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
