Scholar alum to guest on Penn State president's radio show

11/19/2007
Scholar alumna Dr. Candace R. Good of Sunbridge Health in State College will be a guest on Penn State President Graham Spanier's upcoming monthly call-in show, "To the Best of My Knowledge," airing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, November 27, on WPSU-TV and WPSU-FM.

The topic of Tuesday's show is cutting disorders and other forms of self-injury which an estimated 2 million to 3 million Americans practice. While the majority of those are women between the ages of 13 and 30, "cutters" span every age, gender, and economic group. Spanier and his guests will discuss what cutting disorders are and how to find help.

Good, board certified in general and child and adolescent psychiatry, will be joined by Dr. Richard L. Levine, a professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the Penn State College of Medicine and chief of the Division of Adolescent Medicine and Eating Disorders.

Good is a 1995 graduate of Penn State's University Scholars Program. She received her undergraduate degree in pre-medicine and completed her medical degree and residency training at the Penn State College of Medicine. Before relocating to State College, she was an assistant professor of psychiatry at the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

"To the Best of My Knowledge" airs on WPSU-FM at 91.5, 106.7, 95.1, 90,1, 100.9, and 104.7, on WPSU-TV. For a live audiostream, go to www.wpsu.org/ondemand. To view the program via the Internet, go to www.wpsu.org/ttbomk and follow the links.
