Using a specially designed instrument, the authors examined physician assistant students' multicultural sensitivity at four points before, during, and after the 30 months of a master's degree program. The students (n = 19) were found to have become more multiculturally sensitive by the end of the program, even in the absence of specific relevant instruction. The greatest improvement followed the end of clerkship rotations, where the students had experiences with low-income patients of other racial/ethnic backgrounds. The authors suggest that increasing such experiences during training may enhance students' multicultural sensitivity.
作者使用一种专门设计的仪器，在硕士学位课程的30个月期间之前、期间和之后的四个时间点，对医师助理专业的学生的多元文化敏感度进行了测试。结果发现，即使没有具体的相关指导，这19名学生在课程结束时多元文化敏感度也有所提高。最大的进步出现在临床实习轮转结束后，在此期间，学生们接触到了来自其他种族/民族背景的低收入患者。作者建议，在培训期间增加此类经历可能会提高学生的多元文化敏感度。
