Tomoko McGaughey (she/her) is currently a Ph.D. student in the Department
of Health Sciences. Her work mainly focuses on assessing the key differences
in health status of high resource healthcare users rural and urban
community members and the barriers and facilitators in the utilization and
accessibility of health care services for those who live in rural communities.
She hopes that by identifying these differences, barriers, and facilitators
experienced between and within differing degrees of rurality, this can help
guide future policies and interventions addressing these issues to ensure the
best quality of health care provision for these communities in the future.
Prior to her work in the lab, Tomoko has worked in various roles including
policy development for Centralized Allied Health program provision,
intervention/program development and evaluation in Mental Health and
Substance Use, and research assistant work focusing on health behaviours
and childhood obesity.
