We are excited to host our first virtual Yale Faculty Roundtable that discusses Living and Dying Well in the age of COVID with speakers Lydia Dugdale and Mary O’Brien. The event will be held over Zoom with an opportunity for at-home dining.
Dr. Lydia Dugdale MD, MAR (Ethics), is the Dorothy L. and Daniel H. Silberberg Associate Professor of Medicine and director of the Center for Clinical Medical Ethics at Columbia University. Prior to her 2019 move to Columbia, she was Associate Director of the Program for Biomedical Ethics and founding Co-Director of the Program for Medicine, Spirituality, and Religion at Yale School of Medicine. She is the author of The Lost Art of Dying: Reviving Forgotten Wisdom (HarperOne, 2020).
Dr. Mary O’Brien received her Ph.D. in 1992 from the University of Southern California, and has taught and conducted research at New York University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of California, Los Angeles. Currently, she is the Director of Clinical Training for the Yale graduate program in clinical psychology and the Director of the Yale Psychology Department Clinic. Her main interests are in: 1) the development of therapeutic approaches for enhancing functioning and protective factors (coping, supportive family environment) among youth at clinical high risk for psychosis; and 2) teaching graduate students to conduct effective, evidence-based assessment and treatment with a broad variety of patient populations.
