Abstract
ABSTRACT Generalist practitioners must be educationally prepared to effectively serve multicultural populations. Developing cultural competence is a dynamic process of growth through ongoing questioning, self-assessment, knowledge and skill-building, starting with the students' level of current competence and supporting enhancement of their abilities. This paper proposes a curriculum model for incorporation of knowledge and skill content for the development of culturally competent generalist practitioners.
