Nancy Kassam-Adams, PhD, Meghan Marsac, PhD

I helped pilot test an innovative web-based intervention for children who have recently experienced a medical trauma and helped compose a manuscript on child and parent depression and traumatic stress reactions following treatment in the emergency department.

PhD Student (2011)

"As a PhD student at the Association of Dutch Burn Centres/Utrecht University in the Netherlands, I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Nancy Kassam-Adams, Dr. Meghan Marsac and their team on behavioral research projects in the fall of 2011. I helped pilot test an innovative web-based intervention for children who have recently experienced a medical trauma and helped compose a manuscript on child and parent depression and traumatic stress reactions following treatment in the emergency department. Back in Amsterdam, I am currently finalizing my PhD research project on the psychological consequences of pediatric burns. My time at CIRP was inspiring, energizing, and made me a more well-rounded researcher in the field of pediatric medical traumatic stress."
