Kate D. Fitzgerald, M.D.
Young Investigator

Dr. Fitzgerald completed medical school at Wayne State University School of Medicine, and then completed her residency and child fellowship training at the University of Michigan. Her clinical work is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of childhood anxiety, and is complemented by her functional neuroimaging research in pediatric obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Currently, she is studying how response to errors -a psychological process that may underlie OCD – could interact with developmental stage to lead to obsessions and compulsions in youth. Ultimately, this work will be partnered with genetic research to elucidate neurodevelopmental risk factors for pediatric OCD.
