About Carma Bylund
I am Professor and Director of Education for the Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics. I also serve as Educational Liaison for the Cancer Control and Population Science Program for the UF Health Cancer Center. I am a behavioral scientist with international expertise in healthcare communication across the cancer continuum and in dementia. My research focuses on the development, implementation, and testing of communication interventions for clinicians, patients, and caregivers to improve health outcomes. I have been funded by the National Cancer Institute as Principal Investigator on 4 grants and Co-Investigator on 8 grants. In addition, I have received 13 grants from non-profit organizations including The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the State of Florida. I have published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers and co-edited three Oxford books on healthcare communication and the Wiley International Encyclopedia of Health Communication. I am Editor-in-Chief of PEC Innovation and Associate Editor of Patient Education and Counseling.
I lead the department’s educational programs and am committed to ensuring that students receive training that will prepare them to help answer pressing health-related research questions. As an educator, I equip students with methodological skills that will enable them to pursue their research goals. As a mentor, my primary goal is to help my mentees fulfill their potential, recognizing that for each mentee this may differ considerably.
