Trudy Mallinson, PhD, OTR/L, FACRM, FAOTA, NZROT, the GW Associate Dean for Health Sciences Research, Professor of Clinical Research and Leadership, and has been inducted to the American Occupational Therapy Foundation’s (AOTF) Academy of Research (AOR) for the year 2025.
The AOTF AOR in occupational therapy recognizes individuals who have made exemplary, distinguished, and sustained contributions toward the science of occupational therapy.
Mallinson’s primary research interest is how better outcomes measurements can improve health care for patients and inform health care policy. Her current research addresses a variety of rehabilitation measurement issues including: measuring the recovery of consciousness in patients with severe traumatic brain injury, describing attention and awareness following mild traumatic brain injury, and the standardization and calibration of functional performance assessments to enable comparison of patient outcomes across post-acute care rehabilitation settings.
“Trudy is outstanding, innovative, and dedicated to making significant contributions to occupational therapy research and practice,” said Roger Ideishi, JD, OT/L, FAOTA.
Mallinson is also a Senior Scientist in the Center for Healthcare Innovation and Policy Research and the Director of the GW Advanced Metrics Lab.
The AOTF/AOTA Awards Ceremony will be April 5, 2025, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to celebrate Mallinson and her remarkable achievements.
