HMONG PATIENTS WITH CANCER: PROVIDING CULTURALLY COMPETENT CARE

Course overview

The Hmong (pronounced “mong”) were originally a nomadic, mountain-dwelling ethnic group that migrated from China to Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos during the 19th and 20th centuries. Hmong means “free human being” or “free people.” This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of current knowledge about providing culturally competent care to Hmong patients with cancer. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
