Abstract
This paper describes an international clinical internship that uses a developmental model to build inter-cultural sensitivity in baccalaureate social work students. The paper analyzes the stages students go through as they struggle to develop a bi-cultural professional perspective. This model adheres to the position that cross cultural practice in a multicultural world not only conforms to the emerging picture of life in the United States, but is also in accord with the values of social work.Keywords
