Diversity & Inclusion Education for
Healthcare Professionals

What steps can you take to prevent bias in healthcare? Gain a deeper understanding of potential cultural differences in your patients and learn how you can provide outstanding care to everyone, regardless of their background.

Do you see race and cultural identity when you look at your clients? Chances are you do, and we suggest that you should. Race and cultural identity have a substantial influence on communicative practices, and to ignore such key aspects of identity is to render us less effective—and potentially harmful—clinicians. We will provide you with a framework for reflecting on cultural identity, both yours and others'. We will also highlight examples for how “seeing color” will help make you a more culturally competent therapist.

While this course was originally produced in 2017 with school-based SLPs in mind, we find the concepts to be applicable broadly.
