Multicultural Training

Describe opportunities for multicultural training:

As our clinic uses the word 'Multicultural' in its name, we emphasize this aspect of training. (1) Our interns come from diverse ethnic and cultural cross-cultural backgrounds; and (2) Our clients are also as diverse. On a weekly basis, all of our interns receive both didactic and face-to-face training and supervision that directly promotes sensitivity, awareness, and knowledge of the diverse populations they serve. Cultural training includes didactic, film, vignette role-play, presentations, involvement with research and presentation, and discussion with and about many diverse groups in our community.
