After this session, participants will:

2. Have knowledge on the subgroups that make up Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs),
3. Be able to identify at least four cultural factors that influence health care behaviors and health seeking practices among NHPIs, and
4. Be able to list at least three culturally competent practices that can be applied in the clinic setting when working with NHPI patients.
