Dr. Bushra Khan will be pursuing Forensic Psychiatry subspecialty training at the University of Toronto. During her PGY5, Dr. Khan concurrently pursued a Master of Public Health with concentration in Quantitative Methods at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Dr. Khan holds two prestigious international fellowships as a Rappeport Fellow with the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law and a Public Psychiatry Fellow with the American Psychiatric Association where she serves as vice-chair. Dr. Khan's research formerly focused on underserved communities with individuals experiencing homelessness. Dr. Khan’s research shifted through clinical interest to psychiatry and the law and currently examines forensic systems with respect to intersectionality with culture, syndemics and health outcomes in carceral settings. Following the completion of her subspecialty training, Dr. Khan intends to set-up a mixed practice as a forensic psychiatrist specializing in patients with severe mental illness and as a research scientist.
