Rachel D Zordan

Dr Rachel Zordan is a Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, and a Research Fellow at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne.

Dr Zordan aims to reduce health inequality and subsequent disparities that result from inequitable access to essential health services. She conducts research investigating the health, wellbeing, and mortality of marginalised populations including people with a history of homelessness or incarceration. Working alongside health care staff, she translates this research into education and training interventions designed to improve the experience of patients and their families. More recently, Dr Zordan has undertaken research projects to promote trauma-informed and culturally safe care. She enjoys using both quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Dr Zordan supports the career development of research staff and clinicians and currently supervises students and clinicians undertaking research projects at St Vincent’s Hospital, Melbourne.
