What Clinicians Need to Know About Anti-Asian Racism (3 CE credits)

Presented by Sherry C. Wang, PhD The presenter will also draw from empirical research that she has collected with Asian Americans at the start of the pandemic. Additionally, she will highlight the roots of anti-Asian sentiment and its ongoing manifestation, from microaggressions to overt violence, and historical and present-day experiences of racism. Attendees will learn about the ways in which their knowledge can improve their clinical work, teaching, research, outreach, and advocacy. That is, by better understanding the racial experiences of Asian Americans in the U.S. context, health care providers will be able to better understand the distinctiveness of what it is like to be Asian Americans in the U.S. context.
