Tuesday Topics

If it is Tuesday, it is time for Tuesday Topics.

College of Nursing and Health Professions hosts "Tuesday Topics," an informal, regularly designated space designed to connect faculty, students and staff and help grow the interprofessional community within the College. "Tuesday Topics" include sessions promoting CNHP's research initiatives, sharing scholarship on issues relevant to healthcare and providing guidance on best practices in research and education. "Tuesday Topics" are open to all faculty, students and staff in CNHP, as well as to our alumni and community partners. Not every session is for everyone, but if the topic appeals to you, please sign-up to join us.

"Tuesday Topics" are generally held Tuesdays throughout each 10-week quarter of the academic year. Participants can join in person or via live webcast.

Times may vary. Register to receive the specific zoom link and passcode.

Upcoming Events

Clinical Assessment: The Role of Culture and Ethnicity

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 • 12–1 p.m.
via Zoom

Join us for an insightful event on the multifaceted nature of assessment in psychotherapy. When thinking about assessment, there are so many different aspects to be explored, such as: family dynamics, medical and mental health history, relationships, etc. Thorough assessment is important, as it impacts case conceptualization, treatment plans and intervention strategies.

This session will delve into the importance of remembering culture and ethnicity when completing a thorough assessment. We will address a common oversight in clinical practice: the assumption that clients who appear "white" or identify as "Caucasian" align solely with "American culture." This assumption can lead to significant gaps in assessment. The discussion will emphasize the crucial role of culture and ethnicity in shaping our ideas and beliefs, and how exploring these dimensions can lead to more comprehensive assessments and case conceptualizations.

Presenter:
