We are proud of Dr. McCormick and the work he is doing in the Philippines under the Fulbright Project: Global Perspectives Towards Understanding Mental Health.

𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗖 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦 | As part of the 9th Academic Conferment and Induction, the 12th Visiting Faculty Exchange, Dr. Bryan P. McCormick, shared his expertise in a lecture on Global Mental Health.

In his lecture, Dr. McCormick posed a question: “So what is global health? Why now? Why here?” To which he explained that his work at the University of Mindanao centers on the Global Perspectives Towards Understanding Mental Health project.

Moreover, Dr. McCormick noted that UM faculty, through the project proposal, identified the importance of developing both expertise in mental health and the need to recognize it as a global concern.

According to him, this is essential in helping students recognize mental health as a public health priority, not only in the Philippines but also worldwide.

Dr. McCormick also emphasized that solutions should not be imposed top-down, adding: “It should not be surprising that these solutions rarely worked. Global work should be work in which people and countries work together to learn with and from one another.” This perspective, he said, reflects the Fulbright Program’s mission to promote mutual understanding, cooperation, and peaceful relations across nations.
