My current research focuses on ways to incorporate mindfulness training into health professional education to foster professional resilience. Ongoing studies utilize a multisite design across several Physician Assistant programs across the country to examine curriculum innovations to incorporate mindfulness and decentering training. Other areas of research interest involve psychotherapy outcome and process variables and the role of envy as a moderator in long-term readjustment issues for veterans.
