Cultural competence in healthcare is essential for providing quality care to diverse patient populations. This systematic review examines the effectiveness of virtual simulation as a tool for enhancing cultural competence among pre-licensure and licensed health professionals. A comprehensive search of relevant databases was conducted, yielding 35 studies that met the inclusion criteria. The review revealed that virtual simulations significantly improve cultural awareness, communication skills, and patient-centered care among healthcare providers. The findings suggest that integrating virtual simulation into healthcare education can enhance cultural competence, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes for diverse populations.
