On top of the social, emotional, and psychological effects of the Covid pandemic, many Asian American patients are feeling the stress of increased anti-Asian sentiment. Physicians can take practical steps to tailor their practices to meet this moment.
NEW ARTICLE ALERT: My editorial about the integration of playfulness into psychiatry education was just published! Let's prevent #burnout in our future psychiatrists.

Excited to further incorporate humanities in medicine - published two pieces of art in The Tempest, our school's art & lit journal, which came out to press yesterday.
And was just accepted to the Applied Medical and Health Humanities Distinction Track @MayoHumanities today!
"Even if the recent increase in media attention to anti-Asian hate crimes prompts action to curb this violence, the effects of racism will remain. Physicians should act to address anti-Asian sentiment ...to make Asian-American patients and colleagues feel safe." -- Dr. James Lee
James Lee, a Korean American resident in psychiatry @UWMedicine, thinks all Asian Americans are suffering from racism right now. His perspective, “Combating anti-Asian sentiment — a practical guide for clinicians,” was published today @NEJM. @UWPsychiatry https://t.co/6mgqzxl1hJ
Valuable thoughts in @NEJM (from a former classmate! @DogtorJames) on incorporating anti-Asian racism in clinic (applicable to other anti-racist efforts!).
Key points: history taking (specifically ask re: racism, mental health screen), mentioning resources e.g. @StopAAPIHate.

@NEJM published my practical guide for clinicians to address the consequences of anti-Asian racism. How can we integrate changes into our day-to-day lives to ensure that our Asian patients don't fall through the cracks? #StopAAPIHate
