What is it about?

This article discusses the advantages of cross-cultural education skills in the clinical education training process. The benefits of cross-cultural education for clinical educators (CEs) who work with supervisees from cultures that differ from their own. CEs differ based on their cultural backgrounds and their perception of concern about the impact that cultural differences have on the supervisory process. There is a value added for cross-cultural education training for speech-language pathologists who work with supervisees particularly when there are limited cultural similarities between the CEs and supervisees.

Why is it important?

This article highlights the need and benefits of cross-cultural education skills in the clinical education training process for clinical educators (CEs) who work with supervisees.

Perspectives

As a first-generation Haitian American SLP, it would have been beneficial to have worked with a clinical educator who had participated in cross-cultural supervision training. It would have added value to the field of Speech-Language Pathology and to the clinical experiences that were shared between us which in turn, would have benefitted the patient populations that were served.
