Medical Credentials

Since I made my first post [to the SJU Polio Mailing List] on 1/18/97, the vast majority of the feedback I have received has been favorable. I am doing this voluntarily and I gain more knowledge in the process as I hope most of you are. I am one of you and only express my opinion as you do. However for clarity, I will list my education, training,and experience for those who are interested.

Washington and Lee University B.A. in pre-med, 1962. Held pre-med scholarship all four years.
School of Medicine of the Medical College of Va. M.D. 1966. Winner of one of two National Foundation Health Scholarships for my four years in my med school.
Rotating internship with emphasis in Medicine - Norfolk General Hospital 1966-67.
Completed accredited residency in psychiatry at Med. Col. of VA Hospitals 1967-70.
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, out patient dept, MCV 1970-76.
Board Certification by the American Board of Psychiatry in Psychiatry in 1974, but one third of the exam was in neurology.
Private practice of general psychiatry (1976 to July 1996) with interest in schizophrenia, emotional factors involved in chronic medical disorders, biological depression, psychopharmacology, chronic pain, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, family systems theory, and since 1991 the emotional or psychodynamic factors involved with PPS (which are presented daily on this listserv [SJU Polio Mailing List]).
Now Clinical Professor of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine of the Medical College of Virginia of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, USA.

I have been on the staff of five hospitals, consultant to a specialized nursing home for severely disabled young adults, consultant to Social Services, the state Rehab Services, a local large missionary organization, and as a psychiatric consultant for the local SSDI determiners office. I have been a dept. chairman and on the executive committee of my primary hospital (a 400 bed plus Catholic hospital) and served on numerous committees. In these capacities I have attempted to be an advocate for the disabled of every category. I was named a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association in 1991 based on my professional accomplishments. I have lost most of this very fulfilling and gratifying career because of PPS as many of you have experienced and lost your careers. I still have my knowledge and experience. For the last five years, I have been the president of the Central Va PPS Support Group and have just been re-elected to serve a 6th year. I want to learn as much about PPS as possible for my own benefit and others. I do not object to thoughtful criticism as I have lived with that within my profession for years.

Enough said,
