Our team seeks to develop training and infrastructure that supports development of cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills across a range of healthcare contexts. This work is guided by the ongoing work in Dr. Melissa Tehee’s Tohi Lab. Our current work is focused on developing culture- and trauma-informed training and resources for practicing healthcare professionals and students. In partnership with the the Intensive Outpatient Clinic (IOC) at the University of Utah, we take a trauma-informed approach to collaboratively designing a holistic and patient-centered cultural competence training. In addition to scaling implementation to potentially include training programs of healthcare professionals, we are co-investigating how the training shifts participants’ interactions with their colleagues, care for their patients, and perspectives of themselves
