Allison Smith | Professional History
Dr. Smith's early academic and clinical experiences and academic path led her to pediatric psychology organically. She began her formal education in psychology at the University of Scranton, where psychology's blend of science and practice appealed to her intellectual curiosity and desire to facilitate health and well-being in the lives of young people. She earned her doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Rhode Island, with a focus in child, family, and development psychology. During her graduate education, she pursued clinical training experiences in childhood anxiety and in pediatric health psychology at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, RI, followed by her pre-doctoral residency in Pediatric Psychology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She completed her post-doctoral fellowship training at Boston Children's Hospital. These experiences, in addition to her previous position at the Mayo Family Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Center (PPRC), have prepared her well for her current role in the Pediatric Headache Program.
