Dr. Valerie Damasco specializes in the migration of Philippine-trained nurses to Canada. Her research explores both the historical and contemporary contexts of Filipino nurse migration to North America. Recognized by CBC as one of Canada’s leading experts in this field, she is renowned for her work on the migration of Filipino nurses recruited from the Philippines and the United States for employment in Canada during the 1950s and 1960s. Additionally, Dr. Damasco advises on global healthcare academic programs.
