2024 Pasifika Grand Rounds | Kidney Disease in Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders
Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NH/PI) are underrepresented in medical professionals, especially at the provider level including physicians, physician assistants, and/or nurse practitioners. Subspecialty providers is even more rare. Providing an educational space that caters to the unique needs of NH/PI providers fosters an environment conducive to attracting more NH/PI students into the field of medicine. NH/PI communities also experience health disparities that can be partially mitigated to providers who care for NH/PI patients. As we are aware of, there are no such educational opportunities that are regularly scheduled and open to the general public where non-NH/PI providers can improve their capacity to care for NH/PI patients.
NH/PI communities experience health disparities that are compounded by the difficulty in accessing accurate disaggregated data due to their small sample sizes. This systemic inequity makes the communication of available accurate disaggregated data by subject matter experts an important and invaluable resource. This is the case with renal disease as NH/PI experience conditions that contribute to renal disease such as diabetes at higher rates than other ethnic/racial groups.
Target Audience
Physicians and medical providers who serve Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NH/PI) communities.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss the state of chronic kidney disease among Pacific Islander populations.
- Examine factors contributing to the kidney disease disparity in Pacific Islander populations.
- Identify strategies to mitigate the risk of kidney failure in Pacific Islander populations.
- Discuss possible barriers and biases which may impact patient care (i.e., race, ethnicity, language, gender identity/orientation, age, socioeconomic status, attitudes, feelings, or other characteristics).
