Dr. Ann Olincy completed her undergraduate degree in Biology at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. She then completed a Masters Degree in Public Health, Epidemiology, at U.C.L.A. School of Public Health before attending Mayo Medical School in Rochester, Minnesota. She finished her internship and residency at University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. During her residency at UCHSC, Dr. Olincy was nominated for an NIMH Outstanding Resident Award in 1992 and received the Laughlin Fellow Award in 1994. Dr. Olincy went from her residency to a research fellowship at the Denver VA Medical Center.
Dr. Olincy then joined the faculty of UCHSC as an Instructor for the Department of Psychiatry, and last year, became an Associate Professor, a position that she still holds currently. During her tenure with UCHSC, Dr. Olincy has been the course director of the introductory psychopharmacology lecture series. She was recognized for her teaching by receiving the Jay Tully Teacher of the Year Aware in 1998 and the Eleanor Steele teaching award in 2002. In addition, Dr. Olincy currently serves as a member of Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board (COMIRB) and a member of the University of Colorado Faculty Senate.
Dr. Olincy is also active in the mental health community, serving as the Vice President of the Board for National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, Colorado (NAMI-CO) and was honored with the Annual Exemplary Psychiatrist Award in 2000 from NAMI.
Dr. Olincy continues to do research on schizophrenia, including the role of nicotine and the genetics of this disorder, with over 30 publications in the field.
