From the moment Lindsay Oberleitner, Ph.D. 看到 OUWB的 emphasis on teaching future physicians, the assistant professor — 和 one of the school’s newest faculty members — knew she wanted to be part of it.

“It’s really important to me to feel like my values align with the place that I’m working 和 that was a really big push for me in this position,”她说。.
“When I met with everyone on the interview I 看到 how much everybody valued the students getting a good, 坚实的教育.”
Oberleitner received her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Albion College, her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Wayne State University, with a focus on clinical health psychology.
She then completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Yale University School of Medicine. She continued as faculty at the Yale University School of Medicine until 2019, with involvement in the Divisions of Substance Abuse 和 Law 和 Psychiatry.
At Yale she was the associate director for a forensic addiction clinic, where she provided administrative 和 clinical supervision for an interdisciplinary team, co-developed a prison re-entry addiction initiative with an identified focus on opioid overdose prevention.
Oberleitner also has provided clinical training 和 seminars on the intersections of chronic health problems, 刑事司法, addiction at Yale School of Medicine for psychology 和 psychiatry trainees.
From 2019-2020 she was faculty at Western Connecticut State University where she was integral in the course development for a newly developed graduate program in Addiction Studies.
A common theme has been present for Oberleitner throughout her career, she said.
“I care a lot about doing work — whether it’s training students or doing research — that directly impacts clinical care,”她说。.
