Concerned with the human right to health, Dr. Medved explores questions related to disabled people's experiences with social justice and change in her clinical psychological research. She focuses on people whose voices and perspectives are often ignored or neglected in healthcare—including First Nations people, people with cognitive impairments, people with developmental disabilities, and, in general, all patients who have to cope with health institutions. Medved is involved in interdisciplinary research collaborations that share her value of the human right to health. Her community partners include First Nation communities, the Manitoba Brain Injury Association and the Burn Survivor Group.
