Meet the 2023 Winner: Susan J. Bartlett, PhD
Susan Bartlett is an Associate Professor of Medicine at McGill University in the Divisions of Clinical Epidemiology, Respiratory Medicine, and Rheumatology, and Adjunct Associate Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Bartlett completed an undergraduate degree at Concordia University, a Master’s at McGill University, PhD in Clinical Psychology from Syracuse University, and postdoctoral fellowship with training in clinical investigations at Johns Hopkins. She has been a member of ATS and the Behavioral Sciences/Health Services Assembly for 15 years.
Dr. Bartlett’s work has focused on how psychosocial factors influence health behaviors and long-term outcomes in chronic inflammatory illnesses. Recent interests center around improving the measurement of patient-centered outcomes including symptoms, impacts of disease and treatments, and quality of life. In 2014, she served as co-chair of the International Society of Quality of Life meeting in Berlin, and last year as co-chair of the ATS Workshop on Patient-Centered Outcomes in Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Research. Dr. Bartlett will continue to build on the legacy of accomplishments of our Assembly Chairs to increase the visibility and recognition of the critical role that behavioral sciences and health services research play in improving the lives of people with pulmonary, critical care, and sleep disorders throughout the world.
