Jason Onugha, MD, MPH, is a compassionate psychiatrist with a profound commitment to innovative approaches to healthcare delivery and advancing public health initiatives. He earned his undergraduate degree in Anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis in 2014, followed by an MD-MPH from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in 2020. He completed his Psychiatry residency at Northwestern University in 2024, where he received training in Collaborative Care Models (CoCM), a testament to his dedication to integrated, population-level mental health care.

Jason's journey in public health began in medical school, where, under the mentorship of Hansel Tookes, MD, MPH, he co-founded a student-run clinic providing essential care for people who inject drugs. This initiative, coupled with his advocacy for the Infectious Disease Elimination Act in Florida, ignited his passion for psychiatry and highlighted the critical importance of harm reduction in improving community health outcomes.
