In this session, we will look at the incorporation of international healthcare professionals into study sites with an emphasis on the importance of cultural competence in clinical research settings, including consideration of how the lack of it can compromise patient screening and enrollment. We will also review common misconceptions about cultural competence and provide examples of how to address improving its strength among individuals and organization-wide, and tips for enhancing its applications at the site level.
