Overview
Dr. Kang is Associate Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) in the Division of Rheumatology and a bioethicist with a Masters of Bioethics from Columbia University. She was the Rheumatology Fellowship Program Director at CUIMC for over a decade, was named an Ewig Clinical Scholar at CUIMC for her work in teaching and education and received a Fellowship Training Award from the Rheumatology Research Foundation (RRF).
In addition to being actively involved in teaching and trainee education, Dr. Kang has been interested in addressing bioethical issues in medicine and rheumatology. She was awarded the RRF Clinician Scholar Educator Award, which supported her work in creating an online, interactive bioethics curriculum for trainees, covering topics such as the recruitment of vulnerable research subjects and the globalization of clinical research. Her bioethics work also includes exploring participant preferences for the return of research results, investigating researchers’ practices and views on returning incidental findings, and using the arts to address physician well-being, moral injury and health equity.
Dr. Kang served on the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Board of Directors, as Chair of the ACR Ethics and Conflict of Interest Committee, and as Co-Chair of the ACR Strategic Planning Task Force and Co-Chair of the ACR In-Training Examination Taskforce.
