Health Sciences cultural safety education in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States: a literature review.

Objectives: To review the research literature on cultural safety education within post-secondary health science programs.

Methods: We conducted health and social science database searches from 1996-2016, using combined keywords: cultural competence or safety; teaching or curriculum; universities, polytechnics or professional programs; and Aboriginal or Indigenous. In dyads, authors selected, and reviewed studies independently followed by discussion and consensus to identify thematic linkages of major findings.
