Keywords:
Students Health Occupations, Education Higher, intercultural competence, Educational Measurement, curriculum.Abstract
The need to develop intercultural competences is not only an ethical imperative, in terms of respect and understanding of those different cultures, but also a technical requirement. A professional who can successfully connect with people from diverse cultures will probably achieve effective interaction with users and communities, a higher level of trust, which will translate into greater satisfaction with care and better therapeutic adherence. This article analyzes from a theoretical point of view the incorporation of intercultural competence in the curricula of health careers. A bibliographic review of articles and documents related to intercultural competence in higher education was carried out in Pubmed and Scielo databases, and in web pages of organizations linked to the subject of teaching and learning in higher education, culture and diversity.Downloads
