Story
Dr. Heather Hadjistavropoulos,
Psychology, Arts, U of R
SHRF Achievement Award 2010
Dr. Heather Hadjistavropoulos from the University of Regina was selected by a blue ribbon panel to receive our top honour, the SHRF Achievement Award, this year. As a researcher, author, teacher, scientist and professor of Psychology at the University of Regina, Dr. Hadjistavropoulos is currently driving the movement toward Internet Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. She has made major contributions to improved health status by assessing the impact of anxiety on patients. This kind of health research is important as it directly relates to a patient’s quality of life and also leads to the development of measures that more thoroughly assess the quality of patient care.
