How do you becomeculturally proficient? Do you know which questions to ask? Culturally competent interventions are efficacious in improving clinical and behavioral outcomes.

 Suppose you are teaching “Managing Cholesterol.” Most health educators feel they need to “cover” everything they know about managing cholesterol. Others feel they need to teach everything the client needs to know. Effective teaching, focuses on what the client/patient needs to DO to learn key concepts. If you teach diet, nutrition, health educationbook or diabetes, and want to find effective ways to engage your clients, you will find these teaching tips a MUST:  Health and Nutrition Counseling Tips (ENGLISH) Educación del Paciente Técnicas de Enseñanza PDF (SPANISH)

Creative Teaching Tools- Use the CHIP Method (English) Plastic chips are a fun and effective teaching tool. I have used plastic chips successfully to teach different nutrition concepts such as protein, fat and carbohydrate as well as to teach carbohydrate content. The CHIP method allows the learner to actively participate in the learning process. Using the chips allows a more casual exchange between facilitator and learner and removes the ”test fear factor” attached to the learning evaluation process. Try the CHIP method.  It is fun and effective. I promise.
