Biography: 

Dr. K枚rner has developed research expertise as a psychologist and psychotherapist in the areas of personality assessment, interpersonal functioning & health, and relationship schemas.
Before moving to Canada, she headed the psycho-dermatological service at the University Freiburg, which provides psychological assessment and diagnosis, as well as crisis-intervention, and short-term psychotherapeutic treatment to patients in the Department of Dermatology. Within this framework she educated physicians and nurses about the psychological aspects of dermatological conditions and on how to best adapt their interventions to the patient. She specialized in psychosocial oncology interventions that facilitate health behaviours in individuals diagnosed with skin cancer.

In 2008, Dr. K枚rner was invited to provide expert advice to the Canadian Partnership against Cancer, a national agency focusing on cancer prevention, enhancement of the quality of life, and the decrease of cancer mortality. At the Jewish General Hospital, she conducted research on 鈥淚nteractive Education & Patient Navigation鈥 examining how melanoma patients can best be lead through their care trajectory - from the point of diagnosis throughout their treatment phases and toward resources offered in their community.

In 2011, she became a mentor in the Psychosocial Oncology Research Training (PORT) program, which links Canada鈥檚 top psychosocial oncology researchers across a variety of disciplines and six universities. Dr. K枚rner's Health Psychology Research Group (HPRG)is currently evaluating the efficacy of a coping intervention program for cancer survivors with an RCT involving the JGH and the MUHC.

Her more recent work focuses on secondary prevention of melanoma based on a large scale, longitudinal study examining barriers and facilitators of health behaviours in high-risk individuals.
