Julian Battle

College of Health Professions

I am from Chesterfield, Virginia. I completed my undergraduate studies at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. Currently I work as Recreational Therapist at VCU Health in the Adult Psychiatry unit. I am currently working on obtaining my Entry-Level Doctorate in Occupational Therapy.

During my free time, I love to exercise, listen to music, and spend time with my friends/family. I enjoy meeting and getting to know new people. I also have a passion for mentorship and community service in the Richmond area.

Coming into VCU MCV, I had the ambition to be a part of a program that promotes and shines a light on the diversity in the medical field. I am interested in the opportunity to, not only share my experience as a minority in the medical field, but also to hear other experiences from different healthcare professionals that identify as minorities.
