In family medicine we need heart, as well as content knowledge, to work with and apply the beauty of patient-centred care. 1 To recognize the beauty of patient-centred care, every clinician must keep an open mind, which includes remembering that patients and their families can learn with us or be our teachers and mentors regardless of their age, appearance, culture, or ethnicity. 2-4 Thus, within our world of increasing cultural diversity, we must continue to build on the work of the CanMEDS–Family Medicine5 and the Triple C Competency-based Curriculum6 documents to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for patientcentred care within a cultural context. Further efforts should be focused on implementing objectives for culturally appropriate care, initiating strategies for integrating culturally appropriate care into the curriculum, and developing faculty capable of addressing culturally appropriate care at the local level. 7
