Provided monthly medication management to a population of ~50 adult, moderate-to-high-acuity psychiatric patients at the Center for Family Living (CFL). In addition, in May and June 2011 I provided coverage for colleagues at MacDonald Carey (4 hours/week) and at TAY-FCCS (5 hours/week). Worked as part of a team of social workers, psychologists, MFT’s, and MD’s.

Provided in-home and office-based medication management to a population of between 5 and 8 high- acuity, geriatric psychiatry patients (4 hours/week). Was an integral member of a treatment team of RN’s, PhD and PsyD psychologists, social workers, and the patients’ other physicians. Our mandate was to provide sufficient, multidisciplinary support to our severely mentally ill clients to allow them to continue to live as independently as possible in the community.

Completed the first three years of the general adult psychiatry residency prior to 'fast-tracking' into the child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship.
