Cultural Psychiatry
Resident and Faculty Initiatives
“The UC Davis cultural psychiatry curriculum provided me with unique opportunities to engage in research, clinical, educational, and leadership endeavors in collaboration with patients and faculty from many cultural backgrounds. The program supported my research interest in exploring cultural idioms of distress among Hmong refugees. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to my community through research supported by UC Davis and APA/SAMHSA.” – Pachida Lo, M,D., Class of 2017
