Edward F. Foulks, M.D., Ph.D.
Dr. Foulks is associate dean for Graduate Medical Education and Sellars-Polchow Professor of Psychiatry at Tulane University Health Sciences Center, School of Medicine. He is a member of the GAP Committee on Cultural Psychiatry.
There are many other useful cultural considerations that the GAP Committee on Cultural Psychiatry has reviewed and summarized in their book Cultural Assessment in Clinical Practice (2002; American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc.). The case vignettes and the clinical orientation of this book should enable psychiatric residents and psychiatrists in practice to achieve a level of cultural competence in issues affecting their ethnic and racial minority patients' lives and disorders.
