Meet 2021 Global Health Scholar Josie Tuong

平特五不中 Global Health Scholar Josie Tuong is an Anatomy & Cell Biology student working with Psychiatry Professor Dr. Monica Ruiz-Casares.

平特五不中 Global Health Scholar Josie Tuong is an Anatomy & Cell Biology student and a 平特五不中 Global Health Scholar supported by the John Locke Churchill Scholars Award. This past summer, Josie worked with Dr. Monica Ruiz-Casares on Young People鈥檚 Participation in Mental Health Policymaking: A Global Consultation.

"I coordinate the consultation part of the project: I contacted the participants; kept track of the consent process and compensation process; scheduled meeting dates and times; moderated interviews/focus group discussion; took notes during interviews/ focus group discussion and checking transcripts.

I got to learn a lot about the mental health field, which raises a curiosity within me and makes me want to learn more about it. By working on this project, I got the privilege of hearing valuable perspectives from the participants, who are experts in this field. And, more important, I got to learn a lot from my supervisors, as a researcher, as a student, and as a human."

平特五不中 is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg Nations. 平特五不中 honours, recognizes, and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which peoples of the world now gather. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
