Meet Cindy Buchanan, PhD
My goal is to help children with complex medical conditions to live their fullest lives. I believe that supporting the psychological well-being of children is a vital component of their medical care and overall health."Kids call me 'Smiley Cindy.' I want to be a positive, uplifting person in their life - someone who they feel is a resource that they can turn to."
Dr. Cindy Buchanan

I am currently investigating telehealth interventions that improve adherence to medication regimens for pediatric transplant patients. I am also interested in the relationship between coping, internalizing disorders, and the treatment of dysfunctional voiding.
