Yes, you're on the right track! You can also include:
recognizes the need to develop and adapt a new set of approaches in order
to be able to provide appropriate service for customers of diverse cultural backgrounds;
is able to generate, send, and receive a wide variety of appropriate and
accurate verbal and non verbal messages;
is able to exercise institutional intervention skills on behalf of their clients when appropriate;
is aware of his/her helping style, recognizes the limitations he/she possesses,
and can anticipate the impact on patients from different cultural backgrounds
