Speaker Bios

Manoj Doss, PhD: Manoj completed his PhD at the University of Chicago broadly researching distortions in episodic memory with a focus on the effects of psychoactive drugs such as MDMA, THC, and alcohol on emotional episodic memory (advised by Professors David Gallo and Harriet de Wit). In his postdoc, he is interested in the cognitive, emotional, and neural mechanisms of psychedelic drugs.

Alexis Hammond, M.D., Ph.D.: Dr. Hammond is a Spelman College alumna and graduate of Meharry Medical College and Georgetown University School of Medicine. She completed her residency in psychiatry and a fellowship in addiction research at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine where she is on faculty in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Clinically, she is board certified in both Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine, and currently serves as a psychiatrist for Headspace Health. Her professional interests include identifying innovative and effective treatments for substance use disorder and other psychiatric illnesses, especially with the use of technology, with a particular focus on special populations, such as pregnant and parenting women, dually diagnosed persons and other marginalized communities.

Traci Speed, MD, PhD: Dr. Speed is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins where she is an attending psychiatrist of the Pain Treatment Program, Director of Psychiatric Services of the Personalized Pain Program, and Director of the Chronic Pancreatitis Pain Program. Her clinical research examines the underpinning relationship between neuropsychiatric symptoms, including sleep, and chronic pain and she collaborates with interdisciplinary researchers in human factors engineering and implementation science to improve access and delivery of multidisciplinary pain management.

Hal Kronsberg, M.D.: Hal Kronsberg, M.D.: A former public school teacher, Dr. Kronsberg for Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center’s School-based Mental Health Program in numerous Baltimore City public schools and the Child Mobile Treatment team.  He also serves on the Maryland Behavioral Health Integration in Pediatric Primary Care’s Project ECHO, which aims to educate pediatricians across Maryland on topics and practices relating to child and adolescent mental health. As a medical educator, Dr. Kronsberg is interested in the connection between clinical care and the social determinants of mental health.  He was the inaugural scholar for Johns Hopkins Bayview’s Psychiatry Academy of Clinician Educators, and was recognized by the child and adolescent psychiatry trainees in 2019 for excellence in clinical teaching.

Program Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity learners will be able to:

  • Describe a critical overview of the current (and limited) data on how psychedelics impact brain function and cognition after the acute effects (i.e., the “trip”) are over so that better decisions can be made for whom this therapy may benefit.
  • Describe treatment approaches for comorbid chronic pain and insomnia disorder.
  • List the historical origins of relocation-centered housing interventions.
  • Identify differences in response by gender of relocation from high to low-poverty neighborhoods.
  • Describe the protective effects of “collective efficacy” on high poverty neighborhoods.
