Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHPI) individuals are often grouped with the greater Asian population in medical research, masking NHPI-specific health disparities. Kekoa Taparra, MD PhD, discusses data disaggregation, inclusion of NHPI patients in medical research, and their importance in combatting systemic racism.
Kekoa Taparra, MD, PhD, was born and raised in Hawaiʻi. He completed his PhD at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and is currently a resident physician in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Stanford, receiving training in how to treat a variety of cancers.
