Joining the dots

When I arrived in Brooklyn my mentor at the University of British Columbia had recommended that rather than just "getting a job" (as a newly qualified psychiatrist), that I remain in academia as long as possible. Over the following 20 years I tried to find a balance between community-service, teaching, and clinical research. I was fortunate in that I had the opportunity to work with some of the most brilliant scholars, clinicians, and academicians in the country. As long as the political climate allowed it, I remained at SUNY Health Science Center, which, although not generally as famous as places like Stanford and John Hopkins, was rated among the top ten in the country in Neurosciences. I won the trust of the Dean of the medical School, Dr. Jean Feigenson, to represent the department in creating a new curriculum. The task was to integrate the didactic and clinical rotations in a format most conducive to educating medical students in the various components of Neuroscience, such as Neuropathology, pharmacology, clinical neurology and psychiatry into one expanded construct where everything would fit and could later be easily recalled and applied in the clinical arena.

It's always a good day when new friends join OPP. I read Slatten's comment to you and I want to second his welcome. He is so correct that this is fertile ground for a psychiatrist or a psychologist. On this site you will find all sorts of people and I hope none of us drive you away.

Just a bit of advice: when you want to reply to a comment or an individual, please do NOT click on the "reply" button as no one will know to whom you are speaking. Instead, click on "quote reply". I have no explanation as to why the site provides both buttons.

Again, Margolioth, welcome to our little group.

Margolioth770, if you are to start "joining the dots," you should get with Steve700. He is the self-reputed master of connecting the dots.
