Summary
Cultural competence is often defined as the way that one understands, acknowledges, and works with people from different cultures or belief systems. It is the ability to shift focus from one’s own personal perspective and consider another person’s cultural background, worldview, and lived experience. As a graduate student, you will build upon these skills when culturally relevant training and development is integrated into psychology graduate coursework. Furthermore, this chapter focuses on multiculturalism and the ability to recognize and expose bias. In addition, we will review considerations for necessary development in psychology practice, science, and advocacy to be anchored in a multicultural perspective. Emphasis must be placed in graduate studies to develop well rounded psychologists who have developed skills in cultural humility, multicultural growth and engaging in self-reflection.
