dc.description.abstract | One of the American Physical Therapy Association’s (APTA) strategies to decrease health disparities for racial and ethnic minorities is to improve physical therapists’ cultural competence. The current literature does not clearly demonstrate that international service-learning experiences improve student physical therapists’ cultural competence. The purpose of this study was to document the effects of a ten-day international didactic/clinical service-learning experience in Costa Rica on physical therapist (PT) students’ cultural competence. | |
