The Genetic Counseling Cultural Competence Toolkit is an online resource portal for genetics service providers interested in enhancing their ability to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate health care services. The website, developed with a JEMF (Jane Engelberg Memorial Fellowship) grant of the National Society of Genetic Counselors, features a network of links and resources on cross cultural communication and multilingual resources, health disparities and national standards, health literacy, clinical tools, teaching tools, etc. The website also includes 9 extensive cases that have been approved for Category 1 CEUs for genetic counselors and as an interdisciplinary continuing education opportunity for nurses. Continuing education credits are also available for medical interpreters and translators; students and other interested adult learners can earn a learning certificate for completing the case series.
