Ballots for SfHP Officer Elections were issued by the APA Elections Office on May 8th, and the election will run until June 7th.  To read candidate statements and find out who is eligible to vote, please click on the Special Election Update below.

The SfHP website now features a page for members to post and search for new jobs and fellowships!

This feature enables our members to share announcements of new opportunities in health psychology and simplifies the search process for applicants. It also reduces the volume of posts on the listserv.  We ask that all jobs and fellowships be posted to the SfHP website.

Eligible graduate students, upon completion of their degree in 2023, receive a free year of professional membership in the Society for Health Psychology for 2024. Graduate students/Trainees are eligible if their dissertation advisor (or co-advisor), internship supervisor, or fellowship supervisor is a current member of SfHP.

To obtain this benefit, the advisor/co-advisor or supervisor must complete a brief nomination form - easily accessed below.  Completed forms are to be scanned and emailed to apadiv38@verizon.net.

As our colleagues begin their careers as health psychologists, we hope this initiative provides them with new opportunities to engage with and contribute to the Society.

The Student Advisory Council is accepting applications for the following positions:

• Chair-Elect

• Education & Training Chair

• Health Research Chair

• Communications Chair

Applications are due on June 30th!  The application and more detailed descriptions of the positions may be found here.

Please direct any questions to Noelle Mastrili at studentchairdiv38@gmail.com.
