What can Psychologists contribute to the health care spectrum?
How can Psychologists collaborate with Medical professionals?
This published work reflects collaborations with medical
professionals in our local community. These relationships have been
fruitful in offering collaborative opportunities for students, as
well. These studies emphasize the contributions of Psychosocial
dimensions to complement traditional Biomedical components of health
care.

Students’ Senior Theses in Behavioral Medicine
How have Davidson students contributed to our understanding of
Behavioral Medicine?
Davidson Psychology majors have performed Clinical studies with
patients in local medical practices and hospitals, conducting
interviews and administering questionnaires. In other instances they
have coded videotaped physician-patient interactions and evaluated
whether or not physicians’ verbal skills make a difference in how
patients respond. In our Clinical Research Laboratory they have
modeled medical processes by measuring physiological reactions
during videotaped experiments that are analogues to Behavioral
Medicine. These students have not only attained the research skills
to conduct these studies, but in many instances their research has
been a form of service to medical settings without a research
infrastructure.
