Eric Podchaski, Ph.D.
Lecturer
Department of Psychology
I joined Seton Hall in 2017 after nearly a decade of clinical practice with the US Department of Veteran's Affairs. My clinical background is in Geropsychology (geriatric psychology), which includes geriatric cognitive/neuropsychological assessment, palliative care, and hospice.
Teaching has long been part of my professional life both in classroom and non-classroom settings. I thoroughly enjoyed clinical training with doctoral students, interns, postdocs, medical students, and residents, in addition to the many undergrad classes I've taught over the years.
At Seton Hall my position is focused on teaching and I teach a range of courses covering areas in mental health, positive psychology, statistics and measurement, in addition to social and personality psychology.
Outside of teaching my interests lie in nature and photography.
