The content also delves into the emerging roles of AI and robotics in healthcare, providing a forward-thinking perspective on how technology intersects with cultural competence. The book also introduces the post-human theory, exploring its relevance to cultural and compassionate competence in health care.Transcultural Care is not just a textbook, but a practical resource with case studies, exercises, and interesting videos that allow self-paced learning.
