Dr. Song received her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 2009 and completed her postdoctoral training in chronic illness management at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill School of Nursing in 2011. Her research crosscuts a range of areas in psycho-oncology, health disparities, and cancer care outcomes. Four of her major lines of work include stress and coping of cancer patients and family caregivers; communication and interaction between cancer patient, family caregiver, and health care providers; health-related quality of life; and cancer-related health disparities. She uses quantitative methodology to tackle complex phenomena in the sociocultural context of cancer care.
