About Carma L Bylund

I am Professor and Associate Chair of Education in the Department of Health Outcomes & Biomedical Informatics (HOBI) and the Assistant Director of the Cancer Training and Education Program at the UF Health Cancer Center (UFHCC).

As an implementation scientist, my research focuses on communication interventions for clinicians, patients, and caregivers. These interventions aim to improve implementation of evidence-based communication practices across the cancer continuum, including cancer clinical trial accrual, cancer treatment discussions, and HPV vaccination. My research is supported by the National Institutes of Health and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I have authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, co-edited two books with Oxford University Press on healthcare communication and co-edited the Wiley International Encyclopedia of Health Communication.

I lead HOBI’s graduate education programs, ensuring that students are well-equipped to address pressing health-related research challenges. I am dedicated to providing students with rigorous methodological training to help them achieve their research goals. I am Assistant Director of Education and Training Programs for the UFHCC, promoting educational and training programs, particularly as they relate to population sciences and community engagement. My commitment to education has been recognized through my membership in the UF College of Medicine’s Society for Teaching Scholars.
