1. Cultural Competence Models and Frameworks stress self-awareness regarding cultural beliefs and biases, aligning with Campinha-Bacote's Cultural Competence Model. Recognizing one's biases is crucial for providing culturally responsive care.

2. Systemic Biases and Institutional Factors, like in Competency 12.2, align with models by Metzl and Hansen, highlighting how policies and resource allocation affect health disparities. Addressing systemic biases is vital for equitable care.
