Association of Chinese American Physicians
About Association of Chinese American Physicians
Based in Flushing, NY, the Association of Chinese American Physicians (ACAP) has served as a vital professional community for Chinese American physicians and physicians dedicated to caring for the Chinese community since 1995. With over 700 members nationwide and more than 100 junior members who are Chinese Medical Graduates pursuing medical careers in the United States, ACAP embodies a mission centered on professional collaboration and community healthcare advocacy. The organization fosters meaningful relationships among physicians while creating pathways for meaningful participation in health care policy decisions that directly impact the communities they serve. ACAP's approach combines professional development with genuine community connection, hosting annual galas and seasonal celebrations that bring together members, families, colleagues, and friends. The organization recognizes outstanding healthcare professionals through awards honoring their professional achievements and community service contributions. Beyond formal gatherings, ACAP facilitates relaxation and camaraderie through annual summer and winter CME trips, allowing members and their families to balance professional growth with personal wellness. The organization's commitment to the Flushing area and broader Chinese community is demonstrated through sustained community health initiatives, including decade-long partnerships with local hospitals and recent COVID-19 relief efforts supporting both Wuhan, China and vulnerable populations in the United States. ACAP's holistic approach—combining physician networking, education, policy advocacy, and community service—reflects a deep commitment to improving healthcare quality and access while building lasting professional relationships within the medical community.
