Department of Psychiatry Faculty

Education:

B.A., 1972, University of Florida
M.D., 1977, University of Florida

Academic Interests:

I am interested in medical education at both the undergraduate (medical student) and graduate (resident) level. In the area of curriculum development, I am currently focused on the methods and challenges involved in teaching medical students in the areas of patient-centered medical interviewing, the biopsychosocial model, social history and counseling patients for behavior change. I am also interested in the development of professional identity in medical education, with particular emphasis on the impact of power and authority on the experience and developing identity of medical students. In addition, I am interested in the delivery of mental health services in prisons and jails, with particular attention to suicide in correctional facilities.
