A major objective of the MCH Training Program is to support trainees, faculty, continuing education, and technical assistance to train the next generation of leaders in maternal and child health. In support of this objective, the National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC), with input from an expert MCH faculty workgroup, developed a set of checklists to assess cultural and linguistic competence within the MCH Training Program. Each checklist addresses a different aspect of the infrastructure, function, policy, and practice of training programs. The checklists are not designed to measure the cultural and linguistic competence of a given program; rather they provide a structure for discussion and self-examination to facilitate programmatic and organizational change. This checklist focuses on the climate of the learning environment.
