AAPI Heritage Month | Dr. Esther Choo
Episode Description
May is Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) Heritage Month. Asian Americans represents only 6.8% of the US, yet make up a significant portion of the medical profession, comprising 22% of medical school graduates and 17% of active physicians. While Americans of Asian and Pacific Island descent have made many contributions to our healthcare system, they are facing increased discrimination at work and in their communities.
In this episode, Dr. Esther Choo discusses the racism faced by AAPI healthcare workers, and what we can do about it.
