Jean Oh is currently pursuing a Doctor of Medicine (MD) at the University of British Columbia, expecting to graduate in 2026. She previously completed her Bachelor of Science (Honours) at the same institution. Her research experience encompasses bench-based experiments and large-scale clinical data analysis, demonstrating her commitment to translating research into meaningful clinical applications. Jean integrates pathophysiological insights, epidemiological analysis, and technology with direct patient engagement to enhance patient care and understanding of diseases. Her research interests include patient engagement and access to care, specifically through a project funded by UBC Community-University Engagement Support (CUES) at the Downtown Eastside Eye Clinic, which collaborates with Indigenous patients to identify barriers and facilitators of eye care. She also investigates optical coherence tomography findings in age-related macular degeneration versus polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy to refine diagnostic differentiation and explores the ocular manifestations of Alzheimer’s disease. Collaborating with neuro-ophthalmology researchers from the University of Toronto, she focuses on the etiology of vision loss in giant cell arteritis. Moreover, she evaluates the role of artificial intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, in optimizing patient education about retinal diseases. Jean welcomes interdisciplinary collaboration and aims to expand her qualitative research skills, eager to integrate patient perspectives into ophthalmic care improvement initiatives.
