areas of expertise, creating a group model<br />
we can ‘manualize’ to give the dental students<br />
a template with which to work,”<br />
Schwartzberg says. Her role involves<br />
designing the research project, facilitating<br />
the team’s efforts in research and group<br />
implementation, and offering an occupational<br />
therapy perspective on the challenges<br />
of maintaining good oral health in this<br />
patient population.<br />
“Collaborative care that includes dentistry,<br />
occupational therapy, and psychiatry<br />
will improve services to individuals with<br />
severe mental illness because an integrated<br />
program addresses the biological, social,<br />
and psychological aspects of oral health,”<br />
she says. “This project is an excellent example<br />
of the integration of interdisciplinary<br />
practice and research. It’s very exciting!”<br />
Following her interdisciplinary interests,<br />
Schwartzberg is an elected board member<br />
(2010–2014 term) of the American Group<br />
Psychotherapy Association in addition to<br />
being a professor in the GSAS Department<br />
of Occupational Therapy and an adjunct<br />
professor of psychiatry at the <strong>Tufts</strong> School<br />
of Medicine. She is also coordinator of the<br />
doctor of occupational therapy program<br />
(OTD) at <strong>Tufts</strong> and adviser to the department’s<br />
certificate programs, which include the<br />
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences’ hand<br />
and upper extremity rehabilitation certificate<br />
and the School of Medicine’s pain research,<br />
education, and policy certificate.<br />
