Dr. Quang-Tuyen T.

Her mission is to empowering patients to be seen and cared for in a humanistic health system that can ensure resilience, family and community cohesion, and medical service that is individually appropriate and relevant.

Within her academic community, Dr. Nguyen has had a heavy focus on education, working with medical students and trainees. Education efforts have included workshops and trainings on bias, course facilitation on difficult themes such as racism and discrimination, parity, error, and justice in medicine as well as advocacy efforts in everyday practice.
