I have extensive supervisory experience and have supervised psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, pharmacists, pediatricians, psychiatric nurse practitioners, nurses, mental health therapy aids, recreational therapists, art therapists, psychiatry residents and child & adolescent fellows in training and medical students over these years. I have served as the President of the Medical Staff at Rockland Children’s for 18 years, responsible for policy writing, interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure the quality of clinical care. I also chaired the Credentialing and Privileging Committee for over 26 years, ensuring only the most competent psychiatrists were hired and given the privileges to provide quality care.
