title: A developmental model of ethnosensitivity in family practice training.
abstract: Cross-cultural medicine is a natural and important part of family practice. Unfortunately, its acceptance and implementation into family practice training programs has been limited. This paper presents a developmental model of ethnosensitivity in family practice training which assesses a trainee's ability to grasp cross-cultural issues and suggests strategies for improving cross-cultural communication and practice skills.
