Chronic pain isn’t just a physical experience; it’s shaped by uncertainty, control, and the context of our lives. Rachel introduces a new way to map the pain experience, inspired by her mother’s journey with osteoarthritis and late-stage cancer. By embracing the "odd chances" life throws our way, we can better navigate obstacles, both in healthcare and beyond.
Rachel Almaw is an MSc student at the University of Waterloo’s Faculty of Health. Her research focuses on the pain experience of those living with osteoarthritis, with a particular interest in the intersection of race and health. She has conducted research on a national and international scale, giving her a broad perspective on health disparities.
Rachel is passionate about advocacy, striving to bring awareness and change to systemic issues in healthcare. She is dedicated to making a meaningful impact by advocating for a change in Canada’s approach to data collection and research to create a more equitable healthcare system. Her goal is to bridge the gap in healthcare access and ensure that every individual receives the care they deserve. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
