A UBC scholar with a law degree and a PhD in nursing is in some rare company.

Margaret Moss is among those named to Forbes magazine's 50 Over 50 Impact list.

An associate professor of nursing and director of UBC's First Nations House of Learning, Moss is also an American Fulbright Scholar Award winner.

She's devoted a great deal of time researching solutions to health-care disparities experienced by Indigenous people in Canada.

In April, the National Academy of Medicine appointed her to the Board of Population Health and Public Health Practice.

In the past, Moss has taught at Yale, the University of Buffalo, and the University of Minnesota.

She's a member of the Three Affiliated Tribes of North Dakota. In addition, she has equal lineage as Canadian Sioux/Saskatchewan, according to her UBC profile.
