Tiffany (Ji Yoon) Kim is a PhD Candidate in Epidemiology at McGill University and a Research Fellow at the Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Children. Her research interests focus on using mixed methods approaches to study health disparities experienced by minority populations, particularly immigrant communities. For her dissertation, Tiffany explored disparities in vaccination coverage between immigrant and non-immigrant older adults in Canada and assessed factors that contribute towards the disparities in vaccination coverage using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Tiffany will continue her work on migrant health disparities and examine the health and healthcare use of migrant children and students in Canada at the Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Children.
