Faculty Candidate Presentation: D. Anthony Tolentino

Summary: His presentation will highlight how racism impacts the health of minoritized groups and the need for more Filipino- and Asian-American representation in research and leadership, particularly in T2DM research. He will discuss the evolution of his research program from doing applied clinical informatics work to leveraging technology to address issues of T2DM management among Filipino- and Asian Americans.

BIO: Dr. Tolentino is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Michigan School of Nursing and a clinician scholar at the Institute of Healthcare Policy and Innovation as part of the National Clinician Scholars Program.
