Sue’s proposed model is based on a critique of the Eurocentric assumptions underlying current clinical practice and reflects his innovative thinking and unique synthesis of past research. The specific areas addressed in this article focus on an examination of the multidimensional model of cultural competence (MDCC) and issues related to the definition of competence and its measurement. Areas of needed elaboration in the model include complexities related to power hierarchies (i.e., authority, authorization, and leadership) and implications for training and practice. Particular emphasis is placed on the complexities of cultural competence and the important contributions of Sue’s MDCC as an important step in making cultural competence a reality in the practice of counseling psychology.

Change Culture

Cultures are an integral part of our being. We are born in cultures, which mould our behaviours, attitudes, and cognitions. Culture is a system of meanings and knowledge, belief systems, and morals as well as laws. Culture is acquired, and people change in response to culture and, in return, individuals change culture. Culture informs our world view and offers symbols with specific meanings, not only for individuals in that particular culture but also for others looking in. Culture needs to be differentiated from race and ethnicity. Furthermore, for migrants there are stages in the process of migration that affect their processes of acculturation, which can result in different types of adjustment in the new country, including assimilation, biculturalism, and deculturation. The response of the new country is also important in welcoming or rejecting migrants whatever their reason for migration. Cultural competence is a part of good clinical practice.

With increasing globalisation it is inevitable that along with goods, people will move too. Certain psychiatric disorders are more common among some groups of migrants. It is inevitable that there may be a degree of mismatch between the cultural values and beliefs of patients in comparison with their psychiatrists. Every individual has certain cultural values and it is vital that mental health professionals are not only aware of these values but are also conscious of their own values, prejudices and both strengths and cultural weaknesses. Cultural competence is at the core of good clinical practice. Skills and knowledge about other cultures can be learnt and clinicians also need to be aware of potential sources of conflict and sources from where they can gather information and then utilise it appropriately.

Purpose This article reflects on a diversity and equity view of disability and offers a perspective on the representation of disability within speech and hearing sciences in terms of membership, research, and pedagogy. Conclusions All areas of representation can be improved to support American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's strategic objectives of increasing diversity of membership and improving cultural competence. American Speech-Language-Hearing Association is encouraged to collect data regarding disability status to inform understanding of disability representation and potentially increase positive exposure, retention, and recruitment of disabled professionals. Research can be impacted through use of participatory models and focusing on community experiences, diversity issues, and increased understanding of the impact of ableism on clinical practice. Finally, curriculum specific to disability issues is needed to support students' understanding of the variability inherent within the disability community and their role as clinicians in partnering with the disability community.

Centered Care

Context Culturally competent care has been on the radar of peer health care professions for many years. The unique patient populations that athletic trainers work with lend us to be at the forefront of delivering truly patient-centered care. However, we have not yet appropriately incorporated this tenet of evidence-based practice. Objective To convey the importance of culturally inclusive care and education to athletic training clinical practice and educational programs. We also present a novel way to intertwine inclusivity in the classroom and the clinic in a way that is accessible at any point in one's cultural competence journey. Background Historically, cultural competence in athletic training education has focused on ethnicity and race. The students we teach and the patients we treat share a variety of cultures that are often forgotten yet need to be included for a more holistic approach. Recommendation(s) Athletic trainers and athletic training educators need to continue the journey toward delivering culturally inclusive care. This journey also needs to extend to the classroom, from the delivery methods of teaching to the way we interact with our students. Teaching priorities should include a focus on the cultures around and within our profession.

The role of miR-21 in the pathogenesis of various liver diseases, together with the possibility of detecting microRNA in the circulation, makes miR-21 a potential biomarker for noninvasive detection. In this review, we summarize the potential utility of extracellular miR-21 in the clinical management of hepatic disease patients and compared it with the current clinical practice. MiR-21 shows screening and prognostic value for liver cancer. In liver cirrhosis, miR-21 may serve as a biomarker for the differentiating diagnosis and prognosis. MiR-21 is also a potential biomarker for the severity of hepatitis. We elucidate the disease condition under which miR-21 testing can reach the expected performance. Though miR-21 is a key regulator of liver diseases, microRNAs coordinate with each other in the complex regulatory network. As a result, the performance of miR-21 is better when combined with other microRNAs or classical biomarkers under certain clinical circumstances.
