Justin Trépanier

Justin is from the Niagara Region and graduated from Brock University with a degree in Medical Sciences and a minor in French. He is Franco-Ontarian, likes getting involved and is always asking way too many questions. Outside of school, he enjoys spending time with his Cocker Spaniel, Buddy, and finding a good coffee shop.

Justin is currently an MSc candidate, working under the supervision of Dr. Lisa Christian and Dr. Natalie Hutchings. He is interested in and currently researching the intersection of optometry, vision science, public health, and community health. In particular, he would like to study how the social determinants of health can influence vision health outcomes and access to vision care, as well as how we can address these challenges at different levels, from public health policy and community-based programs to individual patient care. Justin is interested in how optometry can play a role in improving the health and well-being of communities.
