Diversity & Health Equity Education

As part of APA's efforts to prepare culturally competent psychiatrists, the Department of Diversity and Health Equity partners with subject matter experts and psychiatrists to develop online educational resources. These resources, including fact sheets, guides and online learning modules, help clinicians provide quality health care that addresses the needs of culturally diverse populations.
