Cultural Competence & DEI in the Field of CSD

  • Summary

  • Cultural competence in the field of communication sciences & disorders (CSD) is an essential topic, especially when so many CSD professionals in the United States continue to be white and female. How can clinicians navigate an increasingly diverse client base if they lack key cultural perspectives and awareness? And how can clients who identify as racial and/or ethnic minorities be expected to connect with SLPs and AuDs who simply don’t understand their lived experiences? What does this all mean for quality of care not just in the field of CSD, but the US healthcare system at large?

    In this episode, Emily & Aidan chat with second year SLP student Katie Nguyen about her experience in grad school as a BIPOC individual, unpack the complicated barriers that face many minority student clinicians, and outline her biggest hopes for the future of cultural diversity in CSD.
