In ancient times, medicine was done through superstition, and medical practitioners [wielded] various mystical powers which other human beings [could] only obey. According to Chinese tradition, all Chinese are proud “children of Yan and Huang,” legendary founders of traditional Chinese medicine. The Chinese language also reveals the honor doctors once enjoyed: Chinese call doctors “Dai Fu,” which also means scholar-bureaucrats and “Xian Sheng,” or master; medicine is seen as both protective and authoritative. "Evolution of the perception of the doctor's role in China," Jinya Cao & Jing Wei, August 30, 2014 Since William Peterson first coined the term "model minority" in his article, "Success Story: Japanese American Style," in The New York Times Magazine in 1966 -- Asian Pacific Islander Americans have carried the stereotype of a hard working, education-hungry, social ladder-climbing group. Notions that APIAs study harder, do better in weed-out courses like physics and biology, and achieve better scores on standardized testing all fit into the model minority myth. These expectations put a relatively high percentage of APIAs on the path to one of the toughest and most respected fields -- medicine. APIAs who want to become doctors often deal with societal pressures to fit the "model minority" mold, family pressures to achieve, and academic pressures to persevere through difficult years as an undergrad, medical student, intern, resident and physician. In medical school, some APIA students realize developing a personal identity is more complex than fitting the stereotype as a "model minority." Striking a balance between socially constructed identities and their true selves becomes a challenge. "Doctors: The APA Dream Profession," Ji Hyun Lim, 2001
