The choice to embark on a career as a psychologist seems to already served Samara Lipsky well. The only thing she will say is that she wants it to go on for many more years. We know this because she is currently a Ph.D candidate at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology’s (TCSPP), in their International Psychology program. This is not something anyone will do unless they want to be the best psychologist possible. To help her get through that, Samara Lipsky received the President's Scholarship to that school.
To get that scholarship is actually a great honor, although it is not the only honor Samara Lipsky has received. In fact, she has accumulated a variety of awards and accolades in the field over the years. One of the greatest examples, in fact, has to be her induction into the Edward Alexander Bouchet Graduate Honor Society at Yale University, although she can also count her Meritorious Student Abstract Award from the Society of Behavioral Medicine’s Annual Conference to be among some of the most important honors.
Samara Lipsky is certainly determined to be a force for good in the psychological profession. Besides being a prolific writer whose work has appeared in many peer-reviewed publications, both in her field and in the public health arena in general, Samara has authored several book chapters and she has presented at many conferences on public health issues. In addition, Samara Lipsky co-founded a non-profit organization dedicated to helping raise both funds and awareness for medically oriented organizations. She also serves as a member of the Diversity Committee for Psychologists in Public Service, where she plays a key role in the group, whose primary purpose is to increase the level of diversity in the profession.
