Dr. Elizabeth Hisle-Gorman is Director of the Military Family Research Division and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics. She began her career as a social worker working in neighborhood development efforts in Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD which sought to support and strengthen families to prevent family violence, increase well-being, expand opportunity and overcome hardship. However, a move to a military town with her active duty military spouse, re-focused her on work with military families. After completing her Ph.D. in Social Work at the University of Maryland, Dr. Hisle-Gorman moved to USUHS to expand its research portfolio exploring the effects of military life on children. Dr. Hisle-Gorman's current work focuses on using research to increase understanding of the risks for children and families of military life, and working collaboratively to connect military families with the supports and services they need to thrive.
