Tang Scholars 24-25

王倩赟 Qianyun Wang

Qianyun Wang is a third-year PhD student in Social Welfare at UCLA. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Beijing Normal University and a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Calgary. With extensive fieldwork experience across India, Korea, the Philippines, Canada, and China, she is committed to tackling social exclusion, ageism, racism, and migratory injustice through both research and community action. One of her research interests is to explore grief and bereavement experiences among Asian Americans, examining the unique challenges they face due to their immigration background and cultural or racial identity, particularly in relation to grief adjustment. Her work highlights the need for culturally appropriate services and community support. Qianyun’s research focuses on the intersection of aging and immigration, with a particular emphasis on the social and and psychological well-being of older immigrants. She believes deeply in the power of community based research and community involvement to address pressing social issues, especially health inequities that affect marginalized populations. Specifically, her own research program uses Photovoice, a community-based participatory method, to investigate grief and bereavement experiences among older Chinese immigrants. Through this approach, she seeks to empower older Chinese immigrants who may be “muted” in society due to their language barriers and cultural identity. Qianyun's goal is to make a tangible impact in the community by organizing a photography exhibition to raise awareness of mental health and combat ageism and racism directed at older Chinese immigrants. With community practice and research experience working with older immigrants in both Canada and the U.S., Qianyun is also keen on exploring non-drug mental health therapies to enhance the mental well-being of these communities. In her volunteer work at the Chinatown Service Center in Los Angeles, she assists low-income older immigrants with social services and housing.

Sonia Wang

Sonia Wang is a third-year medical student at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. She grew up in Los Angeles, a true cultural melting pot. Lucky to be surrounded by cultures as distinct as a molcajete is from a soup dumpling, she was a child of the immigrant diaspora. Exposed to diverse outlooks since childhood, she was introduced to East-West medicine as a child, which sparked Sonia’s curiosity in its applications in medicine to deliver culturally sensitive and community-based care. Sonia’s interest in East-West medicine is rooted in the goal of better understanding the social forces that shape healthcare. At Harvard, she served as the Mental Health Chair, focusing on the health of athletes. She also volunteered with the Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence to partner with families who have undergone emotional trauma and housing instability. At UCLA, Sonia worked as the Community Health Co-Chair of Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association to organize health fairs aimed at providing general health screenings for the Asian Pacific Islander American community. Sonia looks forward to furthering her education in East-West medicine as a Tang Scholar with an open and curious mind, expanding the possibilities of accessible medicine, all in the context of humanely delivering care.

沈世仲 Shizhong Shen

我是沈世仲，是⼀名在读的⼆年级研究⽣，⾮常感谢Cyrus Tang基⾦会的⽀持，使我获得前往美国学习与交流的机会。 我的⺟亲是⼀名中医全科医师，这使我⾃幼便能够接触到中 医药的独特魅⼒，激发了我对全科医学领域的浓厚兴趣，并 促使我渴望在这个领域追求更深⼊的知识。 我⾃本科起便跟随社区的⻔诊，了解社区的常⻅病种及其在 公共卫⽣领域所起到的作⽤。我认为社区医疗是医学领域不 可或缺的⼀部分，它不仅关注疾病的治疗，还注重社区⺠众 的健康维护与预防。通过参与社区医疗实践，我有机会亲⾝ 体验家庭医⽣团队如何与社区居⺠合作，以提供⾼质量的医 疗服务。社区医疗模式极⼤地便利了社区居⺠的就医流程， 缓解了三甲医院的医疗压⼒。 此外我对⾮药物疗法治疗相关疾病充满兴趣。在⻔诊学习过 程中，我遇到了许多病⼈在药物治疗中配合⾮药物疗法取得 了显著的效果。在这些病⼈中，我接触到了⼀位患有焦虑症 的男性。他尝试了服⽤抗焦虑药物，但副作⽤让他感觉到不 适。在我们的建议下，他尝试每天定期散步，接触⼤⾃然， 配合⼀定剂量的药物治疗下，患者焦虑抑郁状态明显好转， ⽣活质量也得到了明显提升。这让我认识到⾮药物疗法在现 代医学中的重要性。它不仅能够减少药物的副作⽤，还能帮 助病⼈从更全⾯的⻆度改善健康状况。因此，在未来的医疗 实践中，我希望能更多地运⽤和推⼴⾮药物疗法，帮助病⼈ 找到最适合⾃⼰的治疗⽅式。

Shizhong Shen, a second-year graduate student, expresses his sincere gratitude to the Cyrus Tang Foundation for the opportunity to study and collaborate with peers in the United States. Inspired by his mother, a general practitioner in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Shizhong developed an early appreciation for the unique charm of TCM, which sparked his interest in pursuing a career as a general practitioner and advancing his expertise in the field. Since his undergraduate years, Shizhong has been involved with the community outpatient department, gaining valuable insights into the common diseases in the community and their role in public health. He believes community healthcare is an indispensable component of the medical field. It not only focuses on disease treatment but also emphasizes preventive care and health maintenance among the community population. Through his participation in community healthcare practice, Shizhong has had the opportunity to experience firsthand how family physician teams work closely with community residents to provide high-quality medical services. The community healthcare model streamlines the healthcare process for residents and helps alleviate the burden on large hospitals. Additionally, Shizhong has a strong interest in non-drug therapies for treating various conditions. During his outpatient training, he encountered many patients who experienced significant improvement by combining non-drug therapies with medication treatments. One notable case involved a man with an anxiety disorder who struggled with the side effects of anxiolytic medication. Under the guidance of our medical team, the patient incorporated daily walks and nature exposure, while continuing with a prescribed dosage of medication, and his anxiety and depression significantly improved, leading to an enhanced quality of life. This experience reinforced Shizhong’s belief in the importance of non-drug therapies in modern medicine. They not only help minimize medication side effects but also offer patients a more holistic approach to improving their health. Looking ahead, Shizhong hopes to apply and promote non-drug therapies more widely, helping patients find the most suitable treatment options for their individual needs.
