Personal History

BACKGROUND

Margaret A. Chesney is Professor in the Department of Medicine and the first Associate Director of the University of Maryland Center for Integrative Medicine. Prior to joining the Center in 2008, Dr. Chesney was the first Deputy Director of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). During her five years at NCCAM, Dr. Chesney also served as the Director of the Division of Extramural Research and Training. Also, while at NIH, she was the Senior Advisor to the Director of the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research at NIH. Prior to taking the position at NIH, she was Professor of Medicine at the School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco.

In her research, she has been engaged in clinical investigations in the area of behavorial and integrative medicine. The focus of her work has been the role of the individual in the promotion of personal health, prevention of disease, and the potential for optimal management of health across the lifespan. Much of her research has underscored the role that lifestyle and behavior can play in health, including work on the development and evaluation of behavioral strategies to enhance health and wellbeing, even in the face of serious health challenges from diseases such as cardiovascular disease and HIV/AIDS.

She has been President of the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research, as well as President of the American Psychosomatic Society and President of the Division of Health Psychology of the American Psychological Association. She received the Annual Award for Outstanding Contributions to the APA Division of Health Psychology in 1982 and 1986, the President's Award from the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research in 1987, the Charles C. Shepard Science Award, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1999, and the Director's Award for work in Mind-Body Medicine from the Director of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine in 2005. In 2000, she was a Senior Fellow at the Center for the Advancement of Health in Washington DC, supported by the Robert Wood Johnson and John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundations. In 2001, she was elected to the Institute of Medicine.
