Description des rôles
Dr. Wood’s role in the Family Court Clinic is to provide informed opinions and recommendations to the Courts regarding Child Welfare as well as Young Offender cases going before the Family Court. This takes into account each individual’s background, socioeconomic issues, mental health, addictions, and medical issues.
The intent is to optimize the outcome of the child(ren)’s development into various adult roles, including education, employment, and relationships while also attempting to reduce morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, Dr. Wood’s role in the Telepsychiatry Correctional Clinics is to provide timely and sufficient mental health assessments and care to incarcerated individuals. Prisons have come to be considered one of the larges mental health hospitals in the United States and Canada, and it was opined that these individuals’ Human Rights were being impinged by lack of access to medical and mental health care. This is especially important considering that there is a proportion of individuals who are involved in criminal activity partly due to their mental health issues. Dr. Wood is able to provide medical student exposure to the Telepyschiatry Correctional Clinics on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons as well as Friday mornings. The Family Court Clinic exposure could also be provided on Mondays, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and Wednesday and Friday afternoons. There is also upcoming research potential once data collecting is completed.

Les étudiants peuvent aussi m’accompagner lors des visites mensuelles que j’effectue à titre de consultante au Centre médical de l’Équipe de santé familiale Akausivik Inuit.
