Bright Zhou (they/him) is a current 2nd-year resident at Stanford-O'Connor Family Medicine Residency Program. They are interested in LGBTQ+ health, Asian/immigrant health, primary care mental health integration, trainee wellbeing and education, obstetrics, and rural health. This eclectic blend of interests seems only possible within Family Medicine, which is why they feel so passionate about sharing this field with others!

Outside of medicine, they love boba, singing, theater, drag, and recently completed their first Olympic triathlon!
