  Junior Researcher

  Starting in July 2012, a research project on the stigma held by university students on schizophrenia was designed and myself, along with six other international students, have been working to developing a paper that will add to the existing literature on the topic. In August 2013, the preliminary results were presented at a conference at the University of Cambridge. Here I also embarked on a different research project, the Global Health Access Policy for 5-week at the University and also affiliated with RAND Europe. This project is still underway and my focus is on International Quality Standards within Medical Travel. Show less
