Survey Reveals Widespread Anti-Asian Racism in Medical Field
A survey led by Yale School of Medicine reveals that Asian American medical students frequently experience racism, including slurs, racist comments, mistaken identity, and discrimination. The study found that schools often fail to address these issues, leaving students feeling unsupported. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated anti-Asian rhetoric and discrimination. Similar studies have shown that minority medical professionals, such as Black doctors, also face marginalization and bias in the workplace. The lack of support structures further compounds the pain inflicted on Asian medical students. Despite the challenges, these students continue to prioritize patient care.
