Wendy Lichtenthal is an associate professor (pending rank) in the Department of Public Health Sciences at the Miami Miller School of Medicine. Her impactful research is centered around pioneering and assessing innovative psychosocial interventions tailored for cancer patients and their families. Her work particularly zeroes in on the challenging aspects of bereavement and cancer survivorship, addressing critical psychological and emotional needs during these profound life experiences. Lichtenthal’s commitment extends to the development of efficient and ethical evidence-based models of transitional, preventive psychosocial care to help bereaved family members and post-treatment cancer survivors transition from resource-limited hospital-based care to the community.
