美国华人医师会将于3月11日（周一）下午2点-4点在艾姆赫斯特图书馆3 樓会议室举行小型健康讲座，此次讲座将由美国华人医师会的内科医生许晶医生主持，主题为您需要哪种成人疫苗?此次讲座由MetroPlusHealth赞助。
根据国际机构和癌症研究组织的数据，一些常见的癌症类型，如肺癌、乳腺癌、胃癌、结直肠癌和前列腺癌，在全球范围内有较高的患病率。然而，患病率在不同地区和国家之间存在显著差异，这部分是由于不同地区的人口特征、生活方式和环境因素的差异。全球范围内，癌症的患病率一直在上升。这可能与人口老龄化、生活方式变化（例如饮食和运动习惯的改变）、环境污染等因素有关。美国华人医师会的内科医生许晶医生将与大家讨论癌症预防筛查的重要性。这有助于我们及早发现潜在的健康问题，并采取预防性措施，降低患病风险。通过定期的健康检查和筛查，医生们能够更好地识别个体患癌症的潜在风险因素，并在早期采取预防措施，降低患癌的风险。
许晶医生出生于南京，2003年毕业于东南大学医学院（前身为南京铁道医学院）。随后，她在北京协和医学院攻读了病理学硕士学位，然后在新泽西州皮斯卡塔韦的Rutgers/UMDNJ联合项目中获得了细胞与发育生物学的第二个硕士学位。2017年，她在纽约布鲁克代尔大学医学中心完成了内科住院医师培训，并加入了斯托尼布鲁克医学院担任助理教授。在研究生阶段和住院医师培训期间，她发表了多篇经过同行评审的研究论文和病例报告。在疫情大流行期间，她在纽约艾姆赫斯特开设了自己的私人诊所，并以能够为艾姆赫斯特/科罗纳/伍兹赛德皇后区这些服务不足地区的华人社区以及其他少数族裔群体提供最佳个人化初级护理而感到非常自豪。目前是美国华人医师会董事会成员之一。

The Association of Chinese American Physicians (ACPA) will host a small health talk on March 11th, 2024 (Monday) from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Elmhurst Library 3rd floor meeting room. The health talk will be hosted by Dr. Xu Jing, an internal medicine doctor, and the topic is “Which adult vaccine do you need?” The health talk is sponsored by MetroPlusHealth.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes that adults should determine their vaccination schedule based on various factors, including age, vaccination history, health status, lifestyle, occupation, travel destinations, and sexual behavior. These factors influence an individual’s risk of diseases and whether specific vaccinations are necessary. Therefore, it is recommended that adults discuss with healthcare professionals to develop a vaccination plan tailored to their individual circumstances, to maximize protection against infectious diseases. Dr. Jing Xu, an internal medicine physician, will discuss the importance of adult vaccinations during this health talk.
Dr. Xu Jing, born in Nanjing, graduated from Southeast University Medical School (formerly Nanjing Railway Medical College) in 2003. Subsequently, she pursued a master’s degree in Pathology at Peking Union Medical College in Beijing, followed by a second master’s degree in Cell and Developmental Biology in the joint program of Rutgers/UMDNJ in Piscataway, New Jersey. In 2017, she completed her internal medicine residency training at New York Brookdale University Medical Center and joined Stony Brook Medical School as an Assistant Professor. During her graduate and residency training, she published several peer-reviewed research papers and case reports. During the pandemic, she established her private clinic in Amherst, New York, proud to provide personalized primary care services to underserved communities, including the Chinese community in Amherst/Corona/Woodside, Queens. She is currently a board member of the Association of Chinese American Physicians (ACPA).
Since 2007, The Association of Chinese American Physicians (ACPA) has been organizing community health festivals annually, providing free health lectures, health information, and various on-site medical services to the broader Chinese residents.
