He has developed clinical liaisons with a variety of medical services including interventional pain management, respirology, and palliative care. Of particular interest has been the delivery of psychological services (e.g., consultation, brief intervention) in the acute care medical/surgical setting. Dr. Pellizzari has also been active in education; teaching aspects of psychosomatic medicine to undergraduate medical students, supervising psychology and psychiatry residents, and participating in various educational initiatives with other medical specialties.
