10/2003 - current staff psychiatrist SMMHC

Staff Psychiatrist @ Southeast Missouri Mental Health Center, Farmington MO.  Job duties are primarily in the emergency room evaluating, triaging, and providing emergency care and / or admitting patients to hospital.  Additional duties involve helping out on the wards when needed.  Duties include evaluation of patients, giving second opinions, attending to emergencies, covering "on call" duties on a regular basis.  This job is 20 hours / week.  This is a state hospital under Missouri's Dept. of Mental Health.  The client population is composed of acutely ill patients, many of whom are indigent and some with insurance.  There are also chronic patients with acute exacerbations.  

Due to budget cuts, the emergency room and acute wards will be closed on August 15, 2010 and I will no longer be working there after that time.

The practice is in general outpatient neuropsychiatry with a special emphasis on Women’s Health Issues,  prevention, and a biopsychosocial approach.

Community education about neuropsychiatric disorders has also been a focus.

Department of Psychiatric and Chemical Dependency

St. Mary's Health Center

1027 Bellevue Avenue

St. Louis, Missouri

This job involved developing and maintaining an outpatient and inpatient psychiatric service dedicated to issues important to

women and their families. “Mind Works” was developed to evaluate and treat women with specific emotional problems and

disorders unique to women. These were primarily neuropsychiatric disorders related to reproductive events. Specifically,

disorders occurring during pregnancy and the postpartum period, disorders occurring or worsening premenstrually and or

perimenopausally were addressed. Neuropsychiatric aspects of infertility, endometriosis and other gynecological disorders

were treated. Neuropsychiatric disorders temporally associated with breast cancer were also part of the focus.

A “Mother-Baby Unit”, a four bed special area of the inpatient “Sress Unit” with cribs, and evaluations by postpartum nurses

and lactation consultants was developed. The goal of the inpatient Mother-Baby Unit was to allow, when appropriate,

hospitalized mothers of young infants to retain some contact with their infants during psychiatric hospitalization.

St. Mary’s Health Center hosted the 1990 annual conference of “Postpartum Support International”.

Multiple presentations to the media were made to educate the community of St. Louis as to the existence of postpartum

psychiatric disorders.

“Am I at Risk for Postpartum Depression?” (copyright 1989, Hines, Sanford and Edmunds) a self administrated questionnaire

was published by "St. Mary’s Women’s Well” and distributed to St. Mary’s Health Center Lamaze classes to attempt to identify

women at high risk for postpartum depression.

Job responsibilities were those of a psychiatrist in a group practice of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and nurses.

Duties were to provide inpatient and outpatient general and geriatric psychiatric services. The multidisciplinary nature of the

group allowed considerable experience working with non-physician mental health care providers. The referral base for this

practice was from internists in private practice.
