Richard Zhang, MD, MA

I am a child and adolescent psychiatry fellow at Yale School of Medicine. My interests include cultural psychiatry throughout the lifespan, medical humanities, and advocacy. Alongside clinical training, I am an APA/APAF Leadership Fellow via the American Psychiatric Association and a GAP Fellow through the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry think tank. I seek to apply an interdisciplinary perspective to improving healthcare and the field of psychiatry.

Some of my productive, recent commitments included serving as Affiliated Faculty at UConn’s Asian and Asian American Studies Institute (now merged into the Department of Social and Critical Inquiry) and 2023-2024 Chair of APA’s Assembly Committee of Resident-Fellow Members. These fortunate experiences taught me much about effective multidisciplinary collaboration and leadership, which I will continue pursuing moving forward.

I welcome advocacy and scholarly-related collaborations—feel free to connect!
