Insights and interventions for improving cultural humility towards Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations in medical curricula: a qualitative case study

AANHPIs represent a heterogeneous population consisting of unique cultural heritages. Our research demonstrates the importance of highlighting this community in cultural humility curricula to provide an example of how to consider and appreciate diversity in patient populations. In this paper, we present student and medical educator-supported curricular interventions that not only increase awareness of issues impacting AANHPI communities, but also emphasise building skills of self-reflection, lifelong learning and empathy that are applicable to patients of all backgrounds.

Abstract

AANHPIs represent a heterogeneous population consisting of unique cultural heritages. Our research demonstrates the importance of highlighting this community in cultural humility curricula to provide an example of how to consider and appreciate diversity in patient populations. In this paper, we present student and medical educator-supported curricular interventions that not only increase awareness of issues impacting AANHPI communities, but also emphasise building skills of self-reflection, lifelong learning and empathy that are applicable to patients of all backgrounds.
