Felder, Tisha M

Associate Professor

The goal of my research is to ensure that people have access to quality care and services, particularly underserved groups (e.g., African Americans, Medicaid-insured) diagnosed with cancer. I desire to identify strategies that help patients overcome barriers to accessing the health-related services they need and provide patients with support to adhere to their prescribed regimen.
