Abstract
The health professions in Australia increasingly expect graduates to apply culturally safe health care.
For accreditation, health courses must indicate how students will develop capacities for culturally
safe health care practice in their future working lives. In this presentation, I share how I draw on
culturally responsive pedagogies to design learning and teaching environments that inspire students
to become health professionals committed to ongoing learning and practice around culturally safe
health care. One: teaching with culture so that learning experiences connect with the diversity and
cultural specificity of students' lives. Two: ensuring scaffolded, collaborative learning opportunities.
Three: emphasising multiple worldviews and pluriversal perspectives. Four: acknowledging how
teachers are crucial to making/inhibiting culturally responsive climates in the classroom. Through
these illustrations from teaching practice, I demonstrate how culturally responsive pedagogies
support students to have learning experiences that cultivate their skills to work with patients in
culturally safe ways, preparing them to meet their health professions' expectations. The presentation
concludes with a discussion about the broader utility of culturally responsive pedagogies for
creating learning and teaching environments that can equip all graduates with capacities for living
and working as global citizens in a diverse and changing world.
