In Brief

Throughout my career I have provided supervision and clinical teaching to residents in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. This teaching was first pursued at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City on a general inpatient rehabilitation unit. At McLean Hospital I established a unique elective PM&R rotation on the physical rehabilitation of psychiatric patients. This PM&R rotation became a required senior rotation focusing on assessment and treatment of gait and balance deficits in geriatric psychiatric inpatients, treatment of pain in patients with psychiatric illness, and the routine aspects of running a consultation service.

My educational role expanded to include teaching of psychiatric residents and fellows in geriatric psychiatry. These psychiatry trainees are taught the principles of physical medicine and rehabilitation to better evaluate issues of decreased mobility and pain in their patients. In addition I have delivered a number of talks to the broader community of mental health professionals at the local and national level.

Throughout my professional career I have maintained a strong interest in health promotion through fostering improved lifestyle choices. In an attempt to meld an understanding of exercise physiology with aspects of health psychology I write and speak about motivation for exercise to PM&R, psychiatric, and general medical audiences. This interest is now generalized to the broader field of Lifestyle Medicine. I am course director of the Harvard Medical School, Department of Continuing Education online curriculum: Prescribing Lifestyle Medicine for Weight Management to be released in the fall of 2005.

Clinical:

From 1992 to 1995 my initial clinical and administrative interest focused on the use and acceptance of Multidisciplinary Action Plans (MAPs) that directed the predictable aspects of care for rehabilitation inpatients. After attending to the routine practices my clinical work began to focus on the exceptional issues that delayed patients progress: pain and psychiatric issues. In 1995 I moved to Boston to co-direct a unique inpatient unit for simultaneous treatment of individuals with psychiatric and physical rehabilitation needs. I continue to consult at McLean Hospital and have conducted more than 15,000 patient visits. On the geriatric inpatient unit I assess and treat gait disorders and falls in patients admitted with dementia and affective illness. I also consult throughout the other units addressing issues of mobility, pain, and musculoskeletal dysfunction in psychiatric inpatients. In addition, since 1997 I have worked within a primary care practice at MGH Back Bay Health Care Center where I treat individuals with musculoskeletal complaints.

Research & Publications

I am currently a Visiting Scientist at the Jean Mayer-USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. I work as study physician and investigator on several studies that address exercise physiology, resistance training in the elderly, body composition, and nutrition. This experience in conducting clinical research protocols in the elderly complements my clinical work with geriatric patients and my broader interest in promoting healthy aging through exercise and physical activity.
