Stanford Health Care | Our Path Forward: Addressing the Asian Leadership Paradox @StanfordHospital | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Presented by The Center for Asian Health Research and Education in partnership with Stanford Health Library
Disparities among Asian Americans are not limited to health, but extend to how we are included as researchers, scholars and leadership. While we are well represented across STEM, the inability for Asian Americans to achieve parity in leadership needs to be addressed. How do we move the needle to maximize opportunities for an inclusive environment to achieve success? What mechanisms should we implement to change the leadership paradox and how we can we come together to effect change. Karen Kim, MD, MS, discusses effective strategies and lessons learned from both a personal and leadership perspective as one of a limited number of Asian American medical school deans.
Karen Kim, MD, MS, was named dean at the Penn State College of Medicine in 2023. As the Dorothy Foehr Huck and J. Lloyd Huck Chair in Rural Health Research, Kim leads the College of Medicine’s education, research and clinical missions, culture of innovation, and will focus on enhancing team-based interdisciplinary collaboration across the College of Medicine, Penn State Health, the University at large, and across commonwealth campuses. As Physician in Chief, Kim plays a critical role in shaping the academic health system.
In addition to dean, Kim is a nationally recognized leader in health disparities research, curricular innovation and public policy. Her research focuses on the rigorous development and evaluation of multi-level strategies to advance cancer health equity among marginalized and vulnerable populations. As founder and director of the Center for Asian Health Equity-a community-academic partnership, Kim is a national leader on public policies for the inclusion of Asian-Americans and underserved populations in research.
Dr. Kim is the College’s first female dean and the first Korean American woman to hold such a title nationally.
