She completed medical school and an internship in Portland, Oregon, in 1975, the same year that SE Asia fell to the communists.
Dr. Moore completed her psychiatric training and joined the faculty at the Oregon Health Sciences University in the 1980s when the first wave of SE Asian refugees immigrated to Portland. She has published articles on adversity, survival, posttraumatic stress disorder, racism, existential psychiatry, social psychiatry, and cultural psychiatry. She is triple boarded by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and she is a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatry. She has a broad experience in all areas of psychiatry, especially in cultural psychiatry, which brought her to work in New Zealand and Australia.view less
