ABSTRACT
Curanderismo is a system of traditional folk practices and beliefs that address health and healing in the Hispanic community. Curanderismo serves a function in the daily lives of Hispanics worldwide, providing them access to culturally appropriate healthcare, and agency over their own, and their family's health. Cultural competency in the area of curanderismo is invaluable, as curanderismo is a folk resource that if acknowledged and embraced by nurses and healthcare practitioners can aid in healthcare delivery and increased healthcare utilization among Hispanic populations.
