The Division on Practice (DoP) in collaboration with AAPA are excited to debut our new Provider Directory which will connect Asians and Asian-Americans to culturally aware providers. This Provider Directory is the culmination of several years of work from DoP and AAPA members who have been passionate about creating a resource for AAPA members to highlight their clinical work, and to provide access to culturally-informed treatment for the AAPI community.
