Abstract

Read online

Healthcare providers may be ill-equipped to address the specific care needs of refugee/immigrant (RI) patient populations. We assessed continuing education (CE) training interests among HIV/AIDS, STD, and Hepatitis C (HASH) providers in New York State (NYS), United States, who serve RI patients from Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). An online survey was completed by 156 HASH providers during a three-month period in Spring 2018. HASH providers serving LAC patients indicate interest in additional training to address the unique needs of the RI community. We noted a strong interest for more tailored learning opportunities in issues that impact refugee health.
