Cultural Humility Vs. Cultural Competency

In today’s society Cultural Humility vs Cultural Competency is a major topic and cultural Humility is going beyond the idea of Cultural Competency. Cultural Humility is an understanding of cultural and being able to maintain a stance that respects the aspects of different cultures and the identity of a particular individual. “It requires a commitment to lifelong learning, continuous self-reflection on one’s own assumptions and practices, comfort with ‘not knowing’, and recognition of the power/privilege imbalance that exists between clients and health professionals” (“Defining culture,” n.d.). Cultural Humility has to be practiced with a welcoming approach and wanting to learn and understand the different information from different people.
