    Biographical Sketch:     Dr. Mutha is a faculty member and primary care physician at the University of California, San Francisco. Her scholarly work focuses on educational and organizational approaches to improving the quality of care for diverse populations. She was the principal investigator for a multi-year project in which safety net hospitals collaboratively applied rapid cycle improvement methods in order to reduce cultural and linguistic barriers to care. Currently she is involved in studies looking at what motivates hospital leaders to make culturally competent care a priority, the feasibility of integrating cultural competence into Pay-for-Performance, and regional mechanisms for increasing capacity among staff and leaders in delivering culturally competent care. She also has extensive experience in developing curricula and conducting cultural competence faculty and leadership training for a wide range of health professionals, including physicians, nurses, pharmacist, and allied health.
