The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences recently welcomed Assistant Professor Anne Gearity, PhD, as the newest member of the child psychiatry faculty. Gearity is transitioning from an adjunct faculty role with the department and had previously taught for more than 20 years at the U’s School of Social Work. She has also been on the faculty of the U’s Infant and Early Child Mental Health Certificate program in the Institute for Child Development.
When first-year psychiatry resident Tolu Odebunmi, MBBS, MPH, realized there wasn’t really any online space for psychiatry residents or trainees to “talk about stuff, meet each other,” she reached out to fellow resident, Christina Warner, MD. “I asked her, ‘What do you think about having a psychiatry chat page on Twitter for residents, fellows and medical students who may want to go into psychiatry?’” Warner’s instant response was, “Let’s do it.”
Congratulations to Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Assistant Professor Alik Widge, MD, PhD, the 2020 winner of the North American Neuromodulation Society’s Kumar New Investigator Award.
Katie has a special interest in care for children with medical illness, and developing collaborations including education and integrated behavioral healthcare with colleagues in the department of pediatrics.
The department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences is pleased to welcome Ian Ramsay, PhD.
