The training competency of individual and cultural diversity is an advanced, fundamental competency to health service psychology since 2015. However, there is minimal instruction on how to integrate it into training curricula in neuropsychology, especially at the postdoctoral fellowship level. Our objective was to operationalize the individual and cultural diversity standard to provide a tangible application for educational programs on how to develop a competency-based training model for Latinx/a/o-Hispanic (L/H) cultural neuropsychology across the lifespan.
The knowledge-based and applied-based competencies necessary to train to be a cultural neuropsychologist delivering services to L/H patients and families are defined. For learners to complete these competencies, training programs need to implement clinical, didactic, research, and professional development core guidelines grounded in cultural neuropsychology. We provide a framework on how to transform each core guideline, including a Didactics Core with foundational readings across a range of L/H topics, and a Report Template to guide the documentation of sociocultural information, language usage, normative data, and other relevant factors in a neuropsychological report.
These cultural neuropsychology competencies and core guidelines need to become a basic core requirement for all neuropsychologists in training. With focused education in culturally based competencies, training programs can cultivate a sense of responsibility, inclusion, justice, and equity to train a generation of neuropsychologists, who intentionally and consistently practice socially responsible neuropsychology.
自2015年以来，个体与文化多样性方面的培训能力一直是健康服务心理学的一项高级基本能力。然而，关于如何将其纳入神经心理学培训课程的指导却很少，尤其是在博士后奖学金层面。我们的目标是将个体与文化多样性标准付诸实践，为教育项目提供切实可行的应用方法，以培养贯穿一生的针对拉丁裔/西班牙裔（L/H）文化神经心理学的基于能力的培训模式。
定义了培训成为为L/H患者及家庭提供服务的文化神经心理学家所需的基于知识和应用的能力。为使学习者完成这些能力要求，培训项目需要实施基于文化神经心理学的临床、教学、研究和专业发展核心指南。我们提供了一个关于如何转化每个核心指南的框架，包括一个带有一系列L/H主题基础读物的教学核心，以及一个报告模板，以指导在神经心理学报告中记录社会文化信息、语言使用、常模数据和其他相关因素。
这些文化神经心理学能力和核心指南需要成为所有接受培训的神经心理学家的基本核心要求。通过对基于文化的能力进行重点教育，培训项目可以培养责任感、包容感、正义感和平等意识，以培养一代有意且始终践行对社会负责的神经心理学的神经心理学家。
