Key Points Question How are Asian American populations represented in medical school curricula? Findings This qualitative study of a curriculum from 1 US medical school revealed 5 key themes from discussions about Asian American populations in the context of race- and ethnicity-related data in health literature: (1) omission, (2) aggregation, (3) inconsistent categorization, (4) misidentification of granular ethnicity, and (5) association of race and ethnicity with disease. Meaning Findings of this study suggest that medical school curricula reflect the inappropriate use of race and ethnicity found in published health literature and clinical guidelines.
