TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the education law and the public health law, in relation to
requiring cultural awareness and competence training for medical
professionals

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
This bill will create a system of cultural competency Course work and
training that will help healthcare professionals improve their
interactions with minority patients. In doing so, this bill seeks to
improve the quality of healthcare in the state of New York.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Adds section 6505-d to the education law to establish training in
cultural awareness and competence for medical professionals.

Section 1:

1) Lists medical professionals subject and establishes the content and
requirements for cultural competency training and course work.
2) Defines "acceptable formal continuing education".
3) Establishes reporting requirements by medical professionals.
4) Provides exemptions from cultural competency Course work and
training.

5) Establishes a fee of five dollars.
6) Allows the commissioner to promulgate such rules as requires to

JUSTIFICATION:
New York State is one of the most diverse states in the nation, with
large populations of historically marginalized groups. It is a well
documented fact that often members of these minority groups fare far
Worse in many indices of health and well-being.

Disparities in access to quality health care are one major component
of the discrepancies in general health. This bill seeks to close the
gap by ensuring that medical professionals that serve minority
populations are able to provide culturally sensitive care.

By promoting and funding culturally and linguistically sensitive
practices by health care professionals, the legislature can help to
enhance the quality of health care services in underserved
communities. This
legislation will play a crucial role in ending statewide health
disparities among minority populations.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:


2008:      S.7270 Serrano - Referred to Higher Education
2009/2010: Senate reported and committed to codes.
           Assembly referred to higher education.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
No immediate costs to the state. The possibility exists for long term
savings in health care costs as minority populations receive better
preventative care.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
