Abstract

A strong physician-patient relationship is the foundation of providing excellent patient care, as it improves providers' job satisfaction and patients' confidence, which influences their health outcomes.(1,2) Strong relationships also prompt more accurate identification of patients' needs and perceptions, which may be used as an indicator of physician competence.(3) Given the diverse racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds of patients, it is imperative for physicians to have a fundamental understanding of different cultures in order to provide the best care for patients.
