Working With Burmese Patients: Understanding Historical and Cultural Contexts to Improve Health Care Access and Health Status.

Introduction: Burmese patients resettled in the United States as refugees constitute one of the country's largest refugee populations. As health inequities within the wider Asian and Asian American population have garnered more attention, medical professionals have worked to better understand how to provide care to Burmese and Burmese American patients. This workshop addresses the pressing need to provide culturally responsive care to this growing population.
