Title: Comparison of multicultural literature in three health professions: physical therapy, nursing & social work. Author: Black RM. Journal: J Cult Divers; 2001; 8(1):3-15. PubMed ID: 11855011.

Even with the more 'experienced' professions of social work and nursing, there appear to continue to be inconsistencies in the structuring and teaching of multicultural content.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
