Learner Testimonials
See what our learners have to say about our courses.
“After completing this training I feel that as a future provider that I can understand more about my patients backgrounds. This training helped me to learn more about the cultural practices that each group has and how that can play a role in how they may seek healthcare and how I can best support them.”
“Prior to completing the HAAPIE initiative, I unknowingly contributed to the model minority myth when considering the healthcare of Asian Americans. This is sadly due to my lack of knowledge. The HAAPIE initiative has helped me to understand the diversity within the Asian community and the struggles faced by some of the different groups… Interestingly, as different as I thought I was from Asian people, the HAAPIE initiative has showed me there are many similarities between people from my culture and some of the Asian cultures like the Hmong and Karenni people.”
