The intern will demonstrate awareness, sensitivity, and skills in working with diverse patient populations who represent various racial, ethnic, and personal backgrounds and hold a variety of social identities. They will consider interpretation of psychological tests as well as the administration of those tests within the cultural context of the client. Interventions applied in treatment will also reflect the client’s worldview, manner of problem-solving, and social connections. Our clinic serves a wide range of ethnicities across a wide range of socio-economic groups. We frequently work through interpreters. These cross- cultural modes of treatment are a predominant aspect of the internship. We aspire to have the intern accustomed to and working well with a broad range of clients. We frequently use interpreters for non-English-speaking monolingual patients. In the past four months (as of this writing) we have used interpreters for Serbian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, Farsi, Tagalog, and American Sign Language. The intern will be expected to develop competency and familiarity with a wide range of clients.

In the past four months (as of this writing) we have used interpreters for Serbian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, Farsi, Tagalog, and American Sign Language. An intern may be able to use any of these as the need arises. We consistently serve Spanish, Cantonese, and Mandarin speaking clients. The other languages listed were a sampling of languages in current at the time to demonstrate a range of populations in treatment.
