Abstract:
Since the end of the Vietnam War, tens of thousands of Hmong refugees have resettled in the United States. This ever-increasing population presents specific challenges to the US healthcare system as Hmong seek to preserve their cultural identity while acclimating to American society. Primary care physicians can enhance their interactions with these patients by seeking to understand various elements of Hmong culture, particularly its approach to medicine and healing. By extension, such knowledge and skills will aid physicians in all encounters with patients who belong to minority cultural groups.
