Experience

Dr. Soojin Jun is a board-certified geriatric pharmacist in the United States and a founding member of Patients for Patient Safety US, a group of patient safety activists who have experienced medical harm directly or indirectly, committed to activating US healthcare according to the Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021-2030 of the World Health Organization (WHO).

She has trained as a certified professional in patient safety (CPPS) and a certified professional in healthcare quality (CPHQ). After losing her dad to many gaps in healthcare as a foreigner, one of them a medication adverse event, she changed her career from a videographer to a pharmacist. She believes that a combination of art, empathy, and compassion in healthcare can make healing possible. She speaks passionately about patient safety, trauma-informed care, patient rights, health equity, health literacy, the expansion of roles of pharmacists, and patient advocacy at the policy level.
