Rate My Professor Glenn Ashkanazi

Ashkanazi supervises the internship rotation focused on Assessment of Solid Organ Transplantation for lung, heart/LVAD, kidney, and liver candidates. Interns under his guidance conduct semi-structured interviews with adults facing disorders requiring transplantation for survival or improved quality of life, evaluating psychosocial factors such as psychopathology, adherence and compliance, substance abuse history, coping skills, support systems, quality of life, and risk-benefit analyses. Psychological testing incorporates instruments including the Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic, SF-36 Health Survey, and Beck Depression Inventory, with opportunities to present findings at weekly Medical Review Board meetings, attend grand rounds, engage in quality improvement projects, facilitate psychoeducational and support groups, conduct research, and contribute to program development. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses such as CLP4302: Introduction to Clinical Psychology and CLP7317: Advanced Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine. In recognition of his exemplary contributions, Ashkanazi received the 2017 University of Florida Superior Accomplishment Award in the Health Science Center division.
