Calendar of Events

The Department of Health Calendar of Events is a collective listing of Behavioral Health events across the state that allows you to search for events of your interest, email event information to your friends and keep up to date with continuing education. Partner organizations are welcome to post their events on this site, and the public is encouraged to check back frequently to keep informed of upcoming events, seminars, conferences and training opportunities. The events listed on this site are open to the public. Users are asked to please take note of applicable registration requirements and fees. Though the calendar is moderated for posting acceptable events, the Department of Health (DOH) does not endorse nor verify the information included. If an entry includes a link to a web site that does not end in hawaii.gov, DOH does not control nor review the content or operation of that web site. DOH guarantees neither the authenticity, accuracy, appropriateness nor security of the link, web site or content linked thereto. DOH urges you to exercise caution when accessing any unfamiliar web site. While we are pleased to make this calendar available, kindly direct questions and comments about specific events to the contact person listed for each event.

This track is designed for those new to cultural competency / humility. It will provide an introduction to cultural competency in the field of medicine. Major topics in cross-cultural health care, such as, medical interpreters, cultural humility, and cultural immersion programs will be presented. Cultural competency in risk management will be presented, focusing in-depth on the importance of developing requisite skills to communicate with a diverse patient population.


TRACK 2: DEVELOPMENT, ASSESSMENT, AND EVALUATION OF CULTURAL COMPETENCY EFFORTS (Advanced)
This track is for those individuals that have some familiarity / working knowledge of cultural competency/humility and would like to develop courses / initiatives / programs at their institutions or agencies. An all-day workshop featuring program evaluation and assessment with community groups will be provided. Assessment and evaluation of cultural competency efforts in various settings and for diverse constituencies will be presented. Two instruments to assess cultural competency (The Tool for Assessing Cultural Competency Training (TACCT) and the Residency Training in Cross Cultural Care Survey) at the medical student and post graduate level will also be presented.


TRACK 3: POLICY ISSUES FACING CULTURAL COMPETENCY / HUMILITY EFFORTS (Expert)
This track considers participants as “leaders” and “experts” in the field of cultural competency/humility. Cultural competency will be discussed in the context of institutional and policy matters. A discussion of federal law (e.g. Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services or CLAS standards), requirements of accrediting bodies, and examples of state legislation will be presented.
