Timothy Jang, MD

I've been an advocate for diversity for a long time, raising awareness of implicit bias and trying to promote programs for culturally-informed interactions with the community. I've interacted with Buddhist chaplains working in Catholic hospitals and Christian chaplains working in Asian neighborhoods. I also reported ethnically-biased screening practices, dealt with retaliation, and navigated a 10 year journey of hospital investigations, university inquiries, multiple meetings, and a series of deflections, gaslighting, and stonewalling that culminated in litigation and a lawsuit. I've learned a lot about the unique challenges that face academic physicians who are dually employed by hospitals and universities and I'd be honored to have the opportunity to serve the academy to advance the cause of a robust, healthy diversity in our specialty.
