In this week’s podcast we are discussing Cultural Humility in birth care. We talk about the differences we’ve seen in the terms cultural competence and cultural humility, the impact of “professionalism” on how we engage with those in our care about their cultural preferences and needs, and the growth and hope possible within our system.
Our panel for this episode:
Dr. Angela Mike, CNM 
Ray Rachlin, CPM, CLC 
Pansay Tayo, CD 
Dr. Abby Dennis, OB-GYN 
Maggie Runyon, RNC-OB
