Your Mind; Your Narrative

Dr. Jamille Nagtalon-Ramos is a Filipino American board-certified women’s health nurse practitioner, lactation consultant, author, and professor who studies the Filipino American experience and investigates sexual reproductive health disparities. In this episode, she gives us a look into what began the trend of Filipino nurses in America and why, despite the large demographic, they are not often seen in executive or doctoral roles. We further discuss why there is a lack of health research amongst Asian American culture.
