Jin Jun

Dr. Jin Jun has a passion for promoting the health and well-being of the healthcare workforce, who are key stakeholders in improving the quality and safety of health care delivery. In her research, she explores work as a social determinant of health among direct care workers, registered nurses and other clinicians. Work is an important contributor to health and well-being yet is under-investigated as a social determinant of health. Dr. Jun uses quantitative and qualitative approaches to examine the mechanism and causal pathways in which work contributes and/or reduces health disparities. Her research also addresses occupational stress and clinicians’ well-being at the intersections of individual, community and system levels. As a faculty member in the College of Nursing, she teaches graduate-level pathophysiology and mentors students at all levels.
Dr. Jun started her career in trauma/intensive care unit, then practiced as a gerontological nurse practitioner in the U.S. and in India after completing her master’s degree. Her clinical experiences informed her program of research as she observed firsthand what people do for a living and how the work environment in which they function positively and negatively affected the health and well-being of workers. Dr. Jun earned her PhD from New York University and her Master and Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees from University of Pennsylvania. She also completed a post-doctorate fellowship at University of Michigan School of Nursing and the Institute for Health Policy and Innovation as a National Clinician Scholar (formerly known as the Robert Wood Johnson Clinicians’ Program).
