Purpose & Content
A successful clinical outcome depends on getting an accurate history, making a correct diagnosis, and prescribing appropriate treatment. Of course, a successful outcome will not be achieved if the patient does not follow your treatment recommendations. In this session, we examine how we can use our understanding of culture to communicate and negotiate more effectively with patients and ultimately improve patient's adherence to the treatment plans we recommend.
Objectives

1. Learn how to insure that AAPI patients understand and are motivated to follow your treatment plan.

2. Learn how to work with families to improve patient adherence.

3. Learn how to integrate your knowledge of AAPI culture into the clinical encounter to improve patient management and adherence to prescribed treatment.
