I think there needs to be a bit at the start and/or in the title that acknowledges the US centric view of the article. I don't think this article knows if cultural competence was used in Slovak medicine in the 18th century and it needs some modesty to allow for that possibility. OK?

Yes, well the ultimate goal for this article is to make it less US-centric, but I definitely agree with what you're saying. I'll look into editing something about its bias in the intro for now. Thanks, static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 12:37, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article has a very thorough foundation! The contributions and edits that I included in the article are as follows:

Major:

• Bulleted list item I added 4 subsections under the definition of cultural competence. I felt that the different frameworks of cultural competence and the corresponding research could be expanded upon to reflect how it's seen in practice.
• I added a subsection under the language barriers to cultural competence in order to delve deeper into the varying results of interpreter use found in different studies. I also removed the two sentences that were in the main heading to better incorporate the new subsection and add to the flow of the new addition.
• I added a subsection under the cultural barriers to describe the issue of the lack of diversity in the medical workforce and its effect for minorities in their medical visits.

Minor:

• Rewrote the first sentence of the definition section because it was completely taken from another source.
• Added a citation in one of the sections under the language header
