This conversation focuses on culturally informed neuropsychological evaluations. We discuss big picture topics such as becoming more culturally sensitive, cultural differences across the world, Dr. Fujii’s ECLECTIC framework, and macrosocietal structures. We also talk about how to translate cultural knowledge and experience to clinical evaluations in neuropsychology.
