PRE-AND POST-DOCTORAL TRAINING IN HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY

超出提供的空间。高危行为、糟糕的医疗决策、不遵守医疗方案、在应对威胁生命的慢性疾病时生活质量下降，以及心理困扰和精神障碍对身体疾病的发生和发展的影响，这些都是当代卫生保健的中心问题。这些也是健康心理学的主题。这项申请要求为博士后和博士后培训计划提供资金，该计划将为个人在健康心理学领域的职业生涯做准备。该计划利用两所(地理上相邻的)大学和四个系的优秀教师提供综合的跨学科培训。目前我们培训教员的12名成员的资金包括来自NIH的42笔赠款和来自其他来源的14笔资金。我们在过去十年中培训了71名博士后和46名博士后(包括目前的受训人员)，这些受训人员中的许多人已经成为知名的和有贡献的卫生科学家。我们项目的博士前实习生获得健康心理学学位；或临床、认知或社会心理学学位，专业为健康心理学。博士后包括行为科学博士和医学博士。我们在我们的培训计划中使用了各种经验，包括正式课程、研讨会和研究计划。受训者有机会参加初级研究计划，同时了解健康心理学研究的其他领域。研究性培训是在心理学和生物学理论的发展和系统检查的背景下进行的。每个学员都需要掌握健康心理学的理论和实质性文献，以及研究方法。他们还被要求专攻四个专业领域中的两个：心理生理学、疾病中的心理社会过程、医疗决策和心理社会干预。完成培训后，认知、社会和健康子专业的博士前实习生将为分配到学术医学或心理学系的研究人员做好准备。实习结束后，临床学生将为在临床和学术环境中进行健康心理学研究做好准备。为学员提供充足的实验室空间、办公空间、秘书支持、计算机设施和图书馆。我们要求每年资助5名博士后和4名博士后实习生。表演网站========================================Section End===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. High risk behaviors, poor medical decision making, lack of adherence to medical regimens, deterioration of quality of life in response to chronic life-threateningillness, and the impact of psychological distress and psychiatric disorder on the onset and progression of physical illness are all central issues in contemporary health care. These are also the topics of health psychology. This application requests funding for a pre- and post-doctoral training program that will prepare individuals for careers in health psychology. The program draws on anoutstanding faculty in two (geographically adjacent) universities and four departments to provide integrated interdisciplinary training. Current funding for the 12 members of our training faculty includes 42 grants from NIH and 14 from other sources. We have trained 71 predocs and 46 postdocs in the last ten years (including current trainees) and many of these trainees have become established and contributing health scientists. Predoctoral trainees in our program receive degrees in health psychology; or in clinical, cognitive or social psychology, with a specialization in health psychology. Post-doctoral students include Ph.D.s in behavioral sciences and M.D.s. We use a variety of experiences in our training program including formal courses, seminars, and research programs. Trainees have the opportunity to participate in a primary research program while becoming knowledgeable about other areas of health psychology research. Research training occurs in the context of the development and systematic examination of psychologic and biologic theory. Each trainee is required to master theoretical and substantive literatures, and research methods in health psychology. They are also required to specialize in two of four speciality areas: psychophysiology, psychosocial processes in disease, medical decision making and psychosocialinterventions. Upon completion of training, predoctoral trainees in cognitive, social, and health subspecialties will be prepared for placement as researchers in academic medicine or psychology departments. Following their internships,clinical students will be prepared for conducting health psychology research in clinical and academic settings. Adequate laboratory space, office space, secretarial support, computer facilities and libraries are available for the trainees. We are requesting funding for 5 pre-doctoral and 4 post-doctoral trainees per year. PERFORMANCE SITE ========================================Section End===========================================
