Associate Professor Dr Jeungok Choi has received a one year President Grant from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation to support the creation of a web-based toolkit to provide training for students in the UMass Amherst Doctor of Nursing (DNP) practice program in the use of culturally responsive motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy. The toolkit will be integrated into a series of core courses in the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner program and its effectiveness will be evaluated.
