Evidence suggests that culturally competent care can reduce the racial, ethnic, and cultural healthcare disparities that continue to plague the United States. While practicing professionals must rely on continuing education to improve cultural competence, future healthcare professionals enrolled in health sciences educational programs must rely on program curricula delivered by educators who may or may not be culturally competent themselves. Accreditation requirements related to cultural competence concepts vary greatly between disciplines and this variability results in significant differences in the quality and scope of cultural competence education. JRCERT accredited educational programs in medical imaging must adhere to an approved curriculum that includes concepts related to cultural competence, but no guidance is provided regarding design and implementation of content or measurement of student outcomes. This lack of guidance results in substantial variability in how these concepts are implemented within the medical imaging curriculum. Research suggests that the quality of this content is therefore dependent upon the cultural competence of the educator.The purpose of this study was to examine medical imaging educators' cultural competence and the extent to which they employed transcultural teaching behaviors. The researcher measured medical imaging educator cultural competence and transcultural teaching behaviors via the Cultural Diversity Questionnaire for Nurse Educators-Revised. One-hundred forty-nine educator members of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists participated in the study. The findings of this study suggest that study participants perceived themselves as culturally competent and that they engage in at least some transcultural teaching behaviors. Furthermore, the findings reveal that educators engaged in cultural desire by committing both professionally and personally to providing culturally competent care as well as to teaching how to provide culturally competent care. Attending events sponsored by local and state societies and attending events outside of sponsored activities motivated by personal interests were significantly related to cultural competence. These findings suggest that personal motivation plays a significant role in professional development choices as well as choices related to whether and how cultural competence is taught in their program. Future research could further elucidate these choices and measure student outcomes to inform best practices.
