Presenter: Lynda Powell, MD, PhD
Professor, Preventative Medicine
Rush University

Powell was trained as a counseling psychologist at Stanford University, completed post-doctoral training in epidemiology, and currently leads a preventive medicine department that features PhD and MD faculty devoted to health promotion/disease prevention.  She has led large-scale longitudinal epidemiological studies, behavioral randomized clinical trials, and behavioral treatment-development studies, all of which focus on the promotion of health to prevent the development or progression of cardio-metabolic diseases. She currently leads a P50 center for reducing disparities in cardiopulmonary diseases among the urban poor.  She has published in high visibility journals in both medicine and psychology and is a founding faculty member in an NIH training institute in behavioral randomized clinical trials, now in its 15th year.
