The Multicultural Country Guide presents healthcare providers,
students, and others with the opportunity to explore the cultural
backgrounds of the many countries represented in Boston's diverse
population. No one can be an expert in all cultures and languages,
therefore these guides have been developed to serve either as quick
references or a resource for in-depth learning. We invite you to
explore them with openness to self-education and self-reflection:
because every individual brings his or her cultural assumptions and
personal beliefs into every interaction, our hope is that this guide
promotes greater understanding.
