Program Presenters

Beshaun Davis, PhD is an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in the department of psychiatry. His research focuses on elucidating barriers to implementing evidenced-based practices for early psychosis, with an emphasis on how these barriers affect the pathways to care, access, engagement, and outcomes of individuals of color. Dr. Davis’ work centers the experiences of consumers through participatory research methods to work in tandem with those with lived experiences to develop novel intervention strategies to better outcomes for clients of color. To that end, he is currently investigating the impact of cultural factors such as skepticism of medical institutions and cultural beliefs about psychosis on engaging in care. Dr. Davis has no relevant financial relationships to disclose.
