Overview |
|
Colleen Fogarty, MD, (‘95) has practiced family medicine at Brown Square Community Health Center and serves as faculty liaison for the Westside residents. Upon receiving her BA in Chemistry from Cornell University, Dr. Fogarty served one year as a Jesuit Volunteer, working as a counselor/advocate for low-income families in Venice, California. Her experience working with marginalized and impoverished families motivated her to pursue a career in medicine, enrolling at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, whose excellent focus on primary care further confirmed her interest in working with underserved individuals. Her introduction to community health center work began with a summer AMSA Health Promotion/Disease Prevention project doing prenatal education and case management with migrant farm workers in Northwest Michigan. As a resident at the University of Rochester Department of Family Medicine, Dr. Fogarty practiced at Brown Square Community Health Center with a focus on young women and their families. After residency, Colleen spent a fourth year as Co-Chief Resident with Steve Schultz, MD, while practicing part-time at Rushville CHC and doing coursework in the Family Therapy Training Program. Following the chief resident year, she accepted a staff position with Oak Orchard Community Health Center at the Albion office working with Drs. Charles King and Alfred Daniels. She worked closely with the seasonal and migrant farm worker population and maintained a busy maternity practice for nearly three years. In 1999 Colleen was recruited to design and direct the psychosocial medicine curriculum for the new Boston University Residency in Family Medicine. During her tenure, Dr. Fogarty also taught family concepts to the residents, coordinated resident Balint and support groups, and developed linkages with mental health clinicians to facilitate more collaborative care models. She also worked with other BU faculty to increase skills with psychosocial teaching didactics and in precepting. Colleen received an AAFP Advanced Research Training Grant which allowed her to complete coursework for the Master of Science in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Boston University School of Public Health. She completed this degree in September, 2004 with her thesis, “DEPRESSION AND POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS SYMPTOMS AMONG ABUSED WOMEN: COMPARING CHILDHOOD ABUSE WITH LIFETIME AND CURRENT PARTNER ABUSE.” She has worked on practice-based research in mental health as well as qualitative projects dealing with resident well-being in a new residency program. In 2004, Colleen joined the staff of Westside Health Services, and the faculty of the University of Rochester Department of Family Medicine, returning to Brown Square Community Health Center to practice family medicine and work with the residents. She is currently a regular residency preceptor, and works on the cultural competency curriculum. She continues to develop her academic and research interest in interpersonal violence and primary care mental health. |
