X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: AOL for Macintosh sub 28 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Status: OR Anne, I am doing exactly such a thing at Bellevue Hospital, New York City's largest public hospital, serving 80 nationalities, speaking 35 languages, every month. I have given two lectures on 1) the relationship between poor literacy and poor health, and 2) cultural competence to ER residents and med students. It's just a beginning. We are seeking funds to develop a full curriculum. Rebecca Kalin
