Stanford University School of Medicine
Fernanda S. Rossi, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Stanford University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. She received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Indiana University and completed her clinical psychology predoctoral internship at the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS). She also completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in medical informatics and health services research at VAPAHCS and Stanford University. Dr. Rossi’s research focuses on developing, evaluating, and implementing assessment tools and interventions to improve the safety and mental health of individuals at risk of intimate partner violence, suicide, and drug overdose.
Dr. Rossi has used the fellowship to inform her research and expand her work in implementation science. She was recently awarded a NIDA Diversity Supplement focused on developing and validating a novel instrument for treatment developers and implementers to collect data on the equitable implementation of a health intervention. She is also working on two manuscripts focused on: (1) providing recommendations for developing sustainable and effective dashboards using implementation science and human-centered design, and (2) introducing and validating a universal tool for treatment developers and implementers to measure fidelity to their intervention and/or implementation strategies.
