We are very happy to announce that Baothy Huynh, PhD, OTD, OT, OTR, has transitioned from her role as a term lecturer to Assistant Professor in the OT department! Dr. Huynh is a proud alum of our Entry-Level OTD program and has been an integral part of our department for the past four years as a term lecturer, including two years as faculty of record for core courses. She earned her BS in Biology with a minor in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago (2015) and her Doctor of Occupational Therapy from the MGH Institute of Health Professions (2019).
Her doctoral work investigated intracortical inhibition in focal dystonia using neuromodulation and neuroimaging approaches across both cross-sectional and treatment studies in laryngeal and hand subtypes, and she was the recipient of the American Dissertation Fellowship from the American Association of University Women for the 2024–2025 academic year. We are so excited to have her here and hope everyone gives her a very warm welcome!
