Our Discomfort with Difference: Dialogues on Diversity in the Clinical Setting

2 Thursdays 
March 15, 22, 2018
7:00-9:00pm at OPC           
4.0 cmes*
$150 regular price / $135 for members / $75 Residents-Interns

 

This 2- part course will focus on the issue of diversity in the clinical setting through looking at the role of “differences” between the patient and the clinician, e.g. difference in race, culture of origin, gender, sexuality, socio-economic class, age, etc.  We will read several papers that examine the idea of difference and illustrate potential treatment impasses that can develop from the denial of difference.  Our aim is to engage participants in a process of examining what we avoid thinking or talking about with our clients due to discomfort with differences, and to consider how to bridge these impasses through open thinking and dialogue.  This course is designed to meet requirements of the Oregon Board of Psychologists Examiners for four hours of Cultural Competency CE.

 

 Educational Objectives:  At the conclusion of this program participants will be able to:
1. To start a dialogue on discomfort around issues of patient-clinician  difference (race, a class, culture, age, gender, sexuality, etc.) and its effects on the treatment relationship.
2. To engage in a process for examining one’s own implicit assumptions and biases in the clinical setting
3. To discuss the potential treatment impasses that arise from denial of difference and explore treatment approaches that foster a stance of curiosity and openness to the unfamiliar and unacknowledged in our patients and ourselves.
