Which health science and sport psyhology Universities you would recomend?

Hi,everybody !
I was told that it is impossible to study dance therapy at University-at first I need to study sports psychology,health sciences or biology.

Do you have any information which are the best Universities for it? (Especially,if I still want to study dance therapy later.)

I would like to find some professional ones?
In which countries I should look first?

Maybe someone could write down me some webpages?

Thank you very much,
Best regards,
Anete.

Cultural Competence in Sports Medicine $41.33 Cultural Competence in Sports Medicine is a must-have resource for any health care professional who works with athletes and patients of diverse cultural backgrounds. This unique text stresses the importance of recognizing different cultural attitudes, beliefs, and expectations so that athletic trainers and other health care professionals can modify their professional behavior accordingly to reflect their sensitivity to their patients’ needs, ultimately resulting in a comfortable and positive health care experience for patients. The need to provide behaviorally competent health care to diverse populations prompted the National Athletic Trainers’ Association to identify cultural awareness as a key competency for all certified athletic trainers, including entry-level athletic trainers. "Cultural Competence in Sports Medicine" supports this objective by defining the concept, explaining why it is important, and using examples specific to athletic trainers and other health professionals working with athletes. The text covers the various cultural competence theories and models, including the process of cultural competence in the delivery of health care services, which serves as a foundational model for the remainder of the text. Because readers will need to understand their own biases before they can begin to change them, the text offers information on analyzing and assessing one’s own cultural attitudes and behaviors. Once readers are prepared with that cultural awareness, the text builds cultural knowledge about various racial and ethnic groups, including the origin of culture, common sensitivities and conditions, possible beliefs about illness and preventive healing practices, and providing symptom management and treatments. "Cultural Competence in Sports Medicine "also presents strategies for engaging in cross-cultural interactions. Readers will learn these factors: – Cultural considerations for each stage in the physical assessment process, including taking an oral history, inspecting, observing, and palpating – How to work through an interpreter to foster clear communication with athletes – The conventional dress code generally expected by different cultures to cultivate a professional atmosphere – Appropriate palpation techniques across cultures so athletes are comfortable with the type and degree of physical contact – The differences in acceptable interaction between male and female clients Activities throughout the text provide opportunities for students to apply their developing cultural awareness and related skills.
