Women and Health Committee
My name is Catherine Schuman, Ph.D. and I have recently accepted the opportunity to harness the amazing experience and power of the women and men of Division 38 to resurrect the Women and Health Committee. Are you wondering what the women and health committee does? If so, get involved by sending me an email! cschuman@cha.harvard.edu. Let’s work together to define the direction of this committee. The committee will have two general focuses, first to highlight and promote research, treatments and resources for women’s health and second to promote the role of women in psychology. The committee is also responsible for making nominations for Division 38 offices, nominating fellows and suggesting programming for the Annual Meeting. I am looking for six to eight motivated members to join me in this task.
Since I am new to leadership in the division I thought I would give a brief introduction. In January I left my position as director of sleep psychology at Fletcher Allen Health Care and clinical associate professor in the departments of Neurology and Psychiatry at the University Of Vermont College Of Medicine to accept the position of director of Health Psychology at Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA). I will also be the training director for the Behavioral Medicine training program at CHA starting with the 2008-2009 trainees.
I look forward to working with you and hope to hear from you soon.
