Portrait of Elizabeth Fauth. Dr. Elizabeth Fauth's research focuses on reducing stress for caregivers of people with dementia. Through her work, she explores interventions and prevention strategies that improve caregiver well-being, bridging the gap between clinical practice and community support. Dr. Fauth’s path to research was unexpected but transformative. “As an undergrad, I wanted to be a physician. I never thought about research until I tried it as part of an Honors project, and my career took a very different (and wonderful) path,” she reflects. “Now, I can study health, well-being, interventions, prevention, clinical, and community issues in my area. Research expands career options beyond helping people in clinical practice.” As a mentor, Dr. Fauth encourages students to explore the wide-reaching impact of research, guiding them toward careers that improve lives beyond traditional healthcare settings. Her dedication to both research and mentorship continues to shape the next generation of scholars and practitioners in health and aging.
