Rachel F. Bloom is a sixth-year doctoral candidate in Fordham University's Applied Developmental Psychology program and is a member of the Memory and Aging lab run by Karen L. Siedlecki, PhD, as well as the Falzarano Family Caregiving Lab at the University of Southern California. Her Master’s thesis examined facilitators and barriers to advance care planning among children of people showing signs of early- to mid-stage dementia, focusing in particular on the role of parent-child relationship quality, and her dissertation centers on healthcare engagement attitudes among family caregivers and surrogate decision-makers using a lifespan developmental framework. They are currently an interventionist for the multisite randomized controlled trial of Enhancing & Mobilizing the Potential for Wellness & Emotional Resilience (EMPOWER) for Family Surrogates of Critically Ill Patients, based out of Weill Cornell Medicine. Major research interests include enhancing well-being for people with dementia and their families, the development of effective care planning interventions, and the application of disability justice to care planning policy and practice.
