Gordane V. Calloo is a Global Health student at York University and a graduate of the University of Toronto, where she completed a Specialist in Medical Anthropology. Her academic background bridges medical anthropology and global health, with a focus on understanding how social and structural factors shape disease patterns and clinical outcomes.
She is currently involved in research that connects theoretical frameworks with clinical realities, particularly in chronic disease and infectious disease. Her goal is to advance inclusive, evidence-based medical education, strengthen prevention strategies, and integrate the biological and social dimensions of illness to support systemic health policies.
At the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research, under the supervision of Dr. Godfred Boateng, she contributes to global health research through literature reviews, qualitative analysis, and knowledge translation activities. Her first authored manuscript examines the relationship between housing insecurity and health outcomes from a life-course perspective. It explores how unstable housing conditions impact developmental, environmental and social dynamics across critical stages of life, identifying key patterns to deleterious chronic disease.
Driven by a passion for medical education, mentorship, and health equity, Gordane aim’s to make a tangible impact in the field of global health & medicine.
