Wood, Mary

Biography:
I was born and raised on a small farm on Gabriola Island and moved to Victoria to complete my undergrad in Biology at UVic. I worked for an ophthalmologist following graduation and began my journey at UBC Medical School last fall. Over the last year I have developed a keen interest in endocrinology, specifically in fertility and reproductive physiology. I am currently doing research under the supervision of Dr. Jerilynn Prior at CeMCOR.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
