Student named Rhodes scholar

Sheiry Dhillon, a fourth year bachelor of health sciences student, talks about the inspiration for the work she does and what it means to be one of the newest members of the elite Rhodes community.

Dhillon is completing a specialization in global health and her research interests centre on improving access to, and quality of, health care in low- and middle-income countries. Her current projects include piloting and evaluating a trauma team training course in Georgetown, Guyana and assessing access to obstetric care in governmental hospitals in South Africa.

Dhillon has spent a semester in northern rural India completing a primary health research project for Jagori Grameen, a local NGO. She aims to carry her research interests forward while at Oxford and hopes to eventually expand her work into the realm of policy decision-making and planning.
