What Muslim Health Care Recipients Are Saying About Service Providers
In studies about Muslim patient health care experiences, Muslim participants had an expectation that providers should have a basic level of knowledge about their patients. Below are a few comments from the study.
"That every one of us has to sit, educating her doctor about her beliefs. It’s general information - he can take a two-hour presentation. He can learn this, and that’s it. And then you don’t have to sit and educate."
One participant wished that healthcare providers would have a basic understanding of American Muslims in order to decrease the burden of having the patient to explain their culture and religious beliefs and practices...
"It would be good for hospitals to... teach other people about our religion and our culture. Because sometimes, people act the way they do out of ignorance. They don’t know the beliefs and the way Muslims behave."
"A lot of doctors ask really basic things and you’re kind of like they should already know that stuff. "
Frustrated Patient
"I think also we get stereotyped or maybe they have a few in-services at the hospital and everyone thinks they know everything about Muslims when we’re all very, very different."
Participants asserted that Muslims are often stereotyped and generalized, despite the community’s diversity
"Participants said that cultural competency efforts should educate healthcare practitioners about basic Islamic beliefs and practices, thus helping to reduce stereotypical care and discrimination"
"I think we all know of stories where due to someone having an accent or appearing Muslim that sometimes the doctors may be more blunt with you, or they belittle you, or not give you the time of day"
Participants often described the healthcare system’s atmosphere as unwelcoming

The Truth About Islam and Muslims
Due to the global rise of Islamophobia, getting factual information about Islam and Muslims can be difficult to find but the truth is:
- Muslims are a very diverse community, which includes people from all over the world, as well as different ethnicities. Generalizing among Muslims is a mistake many people make.
- Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and as a result, there are many converts new to Islam from the European, African American, and Latin backgrounds.
- Despite being considered foreign to the West, Islam and Muslims have been part of the United States and European history for centuries.
- Despite the belief that Islam oppresses women, Islam actually elevated the status of women over 1400 years ago.
- Due to the emphasis for higher education in Islam, Muslims tend to be one of the most educated and highly employed individuals. Including Muslims in your practice can make good financial sense.
"Dr. Sekandari offers a rare and important training to help increase cultural competence when working with the Muslim population, about whom there is much misinformation in the media, etc. She is clear and gentle in her own delivery, and creates a safe and powerful environment for learning. "

"I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Sekandari's presentation. She helped me understand the culture, history and important factors to consider when addressing mental health concerns. I found this to be an integral part of diversity specific training and an aspect that I had not previously received specific training on. Thank you, Dr. S!, "
Dr. Flint, Psychologist
"Dr. Sekandari provided a comprehensive understanding of working with the Muslim individual. Many pressing questions were answered about the Muslim community during the presentation that was not related to the topic but was on the participants minds due to the negative information in the Media about Muslims. Helped us understand our own biases when working with Muslims. I learned so much and feel more comfortable in my interactions with Muslims"
