Hong Kong is a society with an increasing ethnoculturally diverse population. Cultural competence of healthcare professionals facilitates the helping and treatment process for ethnic minority service users, and it can be effectively improved through training and professional development activities. However, perspectives on cultural competence training among healthcare professionals including nurses, occupational therapists (OTs), and physiotherapists (PTs) in Hong Kong remain understudied.
