Personal Statement
Dr. Hoerster is Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington, and a staff psychologist in the VA Puget Sound-Seattle PTSD Outpatient Clinic. Her research focuses on the influence of socio-cultural and environmental factors on health and health behavior, particularly in the context of psychiatric illness.
Teaching Philosophy
I believe in competency-based training that capitalizes on trainees’ unique strengths and skillsets. I believe that experiential learning is a powerful tool, providing the opportunity for direct observation and feedback, modeling, and bidirectional learning.
