Elizabeth Ver Hoeve, PhD

Elizabeth Ver Hoeve received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, with a specialization in Health Psychology, from the University of Arizona in 2024. Her academic training, clinical training, and research experiences focused on characterizing and intervening on biopsychosocial factors that impact the lives of individuals as they adjust to health-related challenges, such as cancer diagnosis and treatment. For her dissertation, Elizabeth evaluated the implementation effectiveness of an evidence-based bilingual and bicultural community-focused patient navigation intervention at an NCI-designated cancer center. Her research focuses on health equity, treatment adherence, and biobehavioral oncology. Elizabeth completed a Clinical Psychology Internship at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and is now a Postdoctoral Fellow in the University of Wisconsin’s Department of Family Medicine and Community Health.  As part of the Primary Care Research T32 Fellowship, Elizabeth will utilize implementation science principles to quantitatively and qualitatively address care coordination challenges between primary care and oncology care services, with particular attention toward medically underserved patients in primary care settings across the state of Wisconsin. Outside of research and clinical work, Elizabeth enjoys spending time with her family, working on house projects, and exploring Madison parks.
