Tiffany Glynn, PhD, is a clinical health psychologist in the Behavioral Medicine Program in the Department of Psychiatry at Mass General, a research investigator in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Instructor at Harvard Medical School. 

Clinically, Dr. Glynn specializes in behavioral medicine (managing and adjusting to acute and chronic health/medical challenges; uptake and implementation of health behaviors). She also specializes in treating trauma and substance use. 

Dr. Glynn’s research explores ways to improve the health of people experiencing marginalization with a focus on HIV and cardiovascular disease. She explores how biological processes, mental health, and social/structural environments interact to make it harder for people to get the care they need and engage in health behaviors – and ways to improve healthcare to address these issues. 

Dr. Glynn has authored many scientific publications, book chapters, and frequently presents at national and international conferences. Her work has been cited over 1000 times and has been used to establish international, state, and local policy/standards of care for substance use, mental health, HIV treatment, and gender affirmation.

She completed both her predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships at Mass General Brigham/Harvard Medical School. Dr. Glynn also completed a fellowship in implementation science at the Center for AIDS Research at Johns Hopkins University.
