Introduction

2nd Speaker

Dagoberto Heredia, Jr., Ph.D., is completing a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in the areas of primary care psychology and transgender health at Mayo Clinic, Rochester. He began his career working with LGBTQ and Spanish-speaking communities in Kansas, Missouri, Texas, and Oklahoma. His research focuses on promoting the health of marginalized populations through interdisciplinary collaboration. He previously investigated sociocultural determinants of health and education including gender roles, acculturation, and cultural health beliefs as they relate mood and anxiety disorders, HIV prevention, and academic persistence. He is currently extending this background through his work with interdisciplinary teams evaluating treatment outcomes for multisite CBT programs in primary care, examining sexual health outcomes among transgender and gender diverse individuals, and fostering resilience among queer people of color. He contributes to international research and advocacy initiatives within the Orgullo Latinx: Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity group of the National Latinx Psychological Association and the Latin American regional group of the International Psychological Network for LGBTI Issues.
