Abstract
Underrepresented populations prefer and report better health experiences from healthcare practitioners from the same background and question how they will be understood when a healthcare practitioner's racial or ethnic background differs from their own. Thus, there is a need to align graduate healthcare programs with the heterogeneity of the population to support equitable health outcomes. This article describes how an occupational therapy doctoral capstone supported occupational therapy Vision 2025 pillars of equity, inclusion, and diversity and aligned with the university's goals at a small University in southeastern Pennsylvania.
