title: Cultural aspects of working with students enrolled in a school-based health center.
abstract: School-based health centers provide accessible quality health services to culturally diverse student populations. Numerous challenges exist in providing culturally competent services in a school setting. This article presents models of culturally competent care, practice recommendations, and practical resources in an attempt to improve the provision of culturally competent services. In addition, one school health center's initiative to outreach culturally diverse students into health careers is highlighted.
