"During my career as a Psychiatrist, I have worked really well with all members of my team, fully realizing that each person has an important role in the overall well-being of our patients. From the perspective of the patient, the nurse has an important role in the day-to-day treatment of the patient and in helping communicate to me any updates on the progress of the patient. The social workers on my unit assist me with short and long-term treatment goals. I communicate well with all team members and treat them with respect and dignity."

"During my residency training, I made it a priority to get to know all of the members of my care team to be able to work with them more effectively. By knowing each person personally, I could communicate and work with them more efficiently, which ultimately helped provide better care to our patients. I also took the time to understand each person's role as part of the team to help me gain a larger perspective in patient care."

"Throughout my career as a Psychiatrist, I have made it a priority to involve my entire team in each patient's care. I pride myself on educating my team members and being open to ideas and suggestions from my nurses, social workers, and advanced practice providers. Together, we make each other better to provide compassionate care to our patients."
