Please complete the following questions and discuss with your site coordinator. In responding to the questions, consider the following definition of "Cultural Group": a group of people sharing a common experience: 1) religion; 2) sexual orientation; 3) ethnicity; 4) race; 5) age; 6) disability (physical, psychiatric or cognitive); or, 7) substance abuse history.

1. How would you describe the "cultural make-up" of the clinic settings you have worked in thus far?

2. Have there been times when you have felt it necessary to withhold information from a preceptor/teacher about your personal beliefs, values or experiences regarding a specific cultural group? If yes, what do you think the impact was of withholding information?

3. Do you think your faculty preceptors should be informed about your previous experiences & beliefs about working with particular types of "cultural groups"? Why, or why not.

4. What are your ideas about how cross-cultural issues should be taught in medical school (discussion in orientation with individual preceptors, readings, role-plays, projects, guidelines for preceptors).
