Madeline DiGiovanni

After graduating from Brown University with a degree in psychology, I worked for two years as a high school special education teacher in Holyoke, MA, through Teach For America. I taught both in inclusion settings and in the Therapeutic Intervention Program, a substantially separate setting for children with significant social, emotional, and behavioral needs. At Yale, I conduct qualitative research in child and adolescent psychiatry through QUALab, a qualitative and mixed methods collaboration between the Yale Child Study Center and the French NIH (Inserm, CESP, Centre de Recherche en Epidémiologie et Santé des Populations) under the guidance of Dr. Andrés Martin and Dr. Laelia Benoit. My interests include the school-psychiatry interface and CAP trainee career development. Aside from research, my extracurricular commitments include medical education (Reflective Writing Workshops with the Program for Humanities in Medicine; Narrative Medicine pilot with the Department of Internal Medicine); trainee well-being (Committee on the Well-being of Students); and service (HAVEN Free Clinic Behavioral Health Department, Health Professions Recruitment Exposure Program). In my spare time, I enjoy dance, choir, and crochet.
