Cultural competency is the ability to interact effectively with people of different cultures, combining awareness of one's own cultural worldview, knowledge of other cultural practices, and skills for cross-cultural communication. It is widely emphasized in healthcare, social work, education, and corporate diversity programs to improve service delivery and reduce bias. Professionals build it through training, exposure, and reflective practice over time.
