Speaker
Erin Emery-Tiburcio, PhD, ABPP
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Geriatric Medicine, and Director of Geropsychology at Rush University Medical Center
Dr. Emery-Tiburcio received a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program award for the 2024-2025 academic year from the U.S. State Department and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. With this award, Dr. Emery-Tiburcio tailored her training program, focusing on the 4Ms — What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility — of an Age-Friendly Behavioral Health System to the Australian culture, and then offered the tailored program to mental health providers across Queensland.
As co-director of the Rush Center for Excellence in Aging, Dr. Emery-Tiburcio has helped Rush lead the way in improving the health and well-being of older adults, including the medical center’s designation as an Age-Friendly Health System, or AFHS. The medical center was the first in Illinois to receive this achievement.
