SPPA 6480 - Cultural Competency for Communication Scientists: Bridging Theory and Practice

This graduate seminar is designed to support and present the most current research literature on the development of cultural competency for speech-language pathologists and audiologists, facilitating the ability to provide effective services in an increasingly globalized world. Seminar participants will apply critical analysis to theoretical foundations and established practices in the field, explain the implications of macro-level contexts (history, economics, politics, and culture) for reciprocal and collaborative family/patient centered services, and redesign current “best practices” to be more culturally competent and globally responsible.

Credits: 2 hours

Notes: Open to Graduate students only.
