Sharon Gbadamosi, a doctoral student in the Department of Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Counseling Professions at Rutgers University School of Health Professions, is conducting a dissertation study to establish expert consensus on the Multicultural and Social
Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC) that counseling students should develop before entering clinical practice, as well as best practices for assessing these competencies within counselor education programs. Eligible participants include licensed counseling
practitioners and counselor educators with direct experience in MSJCC – including active independent counseling licensure or CACREP-accredited teaching experience, along with MSJCC-focused scholarship, leadership, or supervision experience.</div>
