On June 16, 2012, Susan Roepke-Buehler, a doctoral student under the mentorship of Dr. Grant, received her Ph.D. from the SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology. Susan worked with Dr. Grant on the Alzheimer Caregiver Study for the past 6 years examining the effects of chronic caregiving stress on psychological and physiological outcomes. During her time with the Caregiver Study, Susan authored/co-authored over 30 peer-reviewed articles in a variety of reputable psychiatry, psychology, aging, and cardiology journals. Susan’s dissertation work focused on modeling the psychosocial and physiological pathways linking chronic stress to atherosclerotic disease in Alzheimer caregivers. Psychosomatic Medicine published one of her first-authored papers reporting that caregivers were more likely to have carotid plaque compared with noncaregivers. The results from this study also suggested that the development of plaque might be enhanced by prolonged sympathoadrenal response to acute stress. Susan completed her final year of her graduate training on internship at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in the Departement of Psychiatry. She then accepted a postdoctoral fellowship at UIC and is excited to continue her training in Health Psychology. Congratulations, Susan!
