2026 Global Health Scholar in Profile: Madeline Williams

Madeline is a second-year history student who worked with Dr. Prativa Baral, Deputy Director of the Pandemic Emergency Readiness Lab (PERL). Over the summer, Madeline helped map Canada’s emergency preparedness workforce by identifying key organizations, their mandates, and how they fit within the broader emergency response system.

As part of PERL's effort to strengthen inclusive emergency management, she also examined approaches to community trust, equity, and recruitment, with attention to the inclusion of Indigenous communities and other under-consulted groups.

“It has been fascinating to learn more about how many challenges accompany building up a reserve of volunteers who possess the training and skill set to jump into action when an emergency arises. […] One thing I love about this project is that I can use my background in history and the social studies of medicine to make connections and understand the context of the material that I am reviewing during my literature synthesis.”

Madeline’s work was supported by the Pandemic Emergency Readiness Lab (PERL) Fund. We are grateful to all the donors whose generous contributions help make PERL’s work possible.

When a health emergency breaks, the information vacuum fills fast, and the platforms where people search for answers become the front line of public health.

Join the McGill Pandemic and Emergency Readiness Lab on October 13 for a fireside chat with Dr. Garth Graham, Head of YouTube Health, in conversation with PERL Deputy Director Prativa Baral, PhD.

Both will discuss what’s actually worked in getting credible information to people during COVID-19, the measles resurgence, and the next crisis we haven’t seen yet.

📍 2001 McGill College Ave, Room 1140 (11th floor)�
🕠 5:30–7:30 PM | Fireside chat + reception

Claire is a second-year medical student working with Dr. Argerie Tsimicalis from the Ingram School of Nursing. She spent part of her summer in Nanjing, China as part of a team conducting an environmental scan non-profit organisations across China focused on cancer among children, which entails identifying and screening organisations across Chinese registries and platforms, and extracting data on their knowledge dissemination efforts.

Claire’s work is supported by the Medicine Class of 1965 International Health Student Fund. We are sincerely grateful to the generous donors behind this award for making her Global Health Scholars project possible.

2026 Global Health Scholar in Profile: Cat Wang

Cat is a second-year medical student working with Dr. Jonathon Campbell of the Department of Medicine. Based out of the McGill International TB Centre, her project aims to identify a pragmatic and financially feasible starting point for
scaling up tuberculosis (TB) screening and preventive treatment in Brazil.

“The most exciting aspect of my internship thus far has been seeing the thoughtfulness, granularity, and rigor that go into making large-scale public health decisions. I have really enjoyed seeing how modelling and economic evaluations can translate complex data into practical strategies that balance impact, feasibility, and available resources. I'm eager to see how this work can ultimately inform real-world decisions and improve population health outcomes.”

Cat’s work is supported by the Class of Medicine 1983 Global Health Scholar Award and the John Locke Churchill Scholars Award. The Class of Medicine 1983 Global Health Scholar Award was established in 2024 to support students engaged in local global health projects, and the John Locke Churchill Scholars Award was established by the Knightsgrange Foundation to support student research on global health projects. We are deeply grateful to all donors for their generous support.

2026 Global Health Scholar in Profile: Camila Franco Suárez

Camila is a U3 student in the Cognitive Science program. This summer, she was supervised by Dr. Silvana Matassini Eyzaguirre from the Department of Global and Public Health. She was in Peru to work on the LEAPS program, which focuses on improving community-based support for people living with dementia and their caregivers.

To her, the most meaningful aspect of her experience so far has been seeing “how community engagement and interdisciplinary research come together in practice. Caregivers are recognized as experts in their own experiences and as active collaborators who help shape solutions […], while researchers from different disciplines contribute complementary perspectives to better understand the challenges faced by people living with dementia and their caregivers. This experience has completely changed how I think about community engaged research and how meaningful partnerships in global health can look like.”

Camila’s work is supported by the Dr. Alice M. Chan-Yip Humanitarian Global Health Initiatives Award, established in 2022 by Dr. Alice M. Chan-Yip (C.M., MDCM 1962, FRCPC, FAAP, D.Sc. honoris causa 2018). The award supports McGill students pursuing global health research and clinical training internationally and within Indigenous communities. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Chan-Yip for her longstanding commitment to supporting students and advancing global health.

2026 Global Health Scholar in Profile: Polina Iourtchenko

Polina is a second-year student in the Human Nutrition program who worked with Dr. Alayne Adams. Over the summer, Polina reviewed the literature on social prescribing and related approaches, and helped identify Montreal-based organizations that could inform the development of a Community of Practice. She also contributed to the development of an interview guide for future conversations with staff from community organizations.

For Polina, the most exciting aspects of her experience were the qualitative analysis and semi-structure interview workshops. “I believe it allowed me to become better acquainted with qualitative research and [learn] the necessary tools to help with a qualitative analysis project.”

Polina is one of our Global Health Scholars supported by the Dr. Catherine Wang Global Health Scholars Award, which was established in 2024 by Wang’s Foundation to support McGill students engaged in summer global health projects. We are deeply grateful to the Foundation for making opportunities like this possible.

2026 Global Health Scholar in Profile: Minji Jeong

Minji is a second-year Cognitive Science student who worked under the supervision of Prof. Mary-Lyne Grenier from McGill’s School of Physical and Occupational Therapy (McGill School of Physical and Occupational Therapy). Over the summer, Minji conducted a literature review on anti-oppressive healthcare documentation, contributed to survey design, supported the recruitment of past participants of Anti-Oppressive Documentation workshops.

“What I find the most exciting so far is how passionate everyone working on the project is about anti-oppressive documentation and healthcare practices. From recommendations of books to read, to group conversations and discussions during the workshops I've attended, I have learned a lot from the team and feel even more strongly about the importance of this work.”

Minji’s work was supported by School of Population and Global Health (SPGH) Fellowship.
