Community
Psychiatry Placements
PGY-III
or IV residents spend 6 months or a year in a practice setting in a
community treatment site supervised by Duke faculty members.
Community
Sites for 1999-2000
1)
Sandhills Mental Health
Center (West End, NC) – Sandhills Mental Health Center is one of
the best in the AHEC system. John
Wagnitz, M.D., is dynamic, aggressive and enthusiastic about community
psychiatry. We have shared
significant resources in the Division with Sandhills with great success.
They are leaders in the provision of group services to the severe and
persistent mentally ill. They
have a very strong case management program and strong clinicians in
general. Residents
generally stagger their 6-months rotation here.
The commute to Sandhills is about an hour and 30 minutes.
2)
Cumberland County Mental
Health Center (Fayetteville, NC) – Cumberland County Mental Health
Center is also an excellent rotation with a wide range of treatment
services. Residents here
can select a child experience with Dr. George Martin. Cumberland County
also just began an intensive treatment program for patients with HIV and
co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders, which is part
of a federal demonstration project.
Dr. Martin is eager to provide an excellent experience for
residents.
3)
Lincoln Community Mental
Health Center (Durham, NC) – Lincoln Community Mental Health
Center is one of the few remaining free-standing community health
centers in the state caring for minority populations medically and
psychiatrically. They have a growing Hispanic population as well. Those
of you with an interest in consultation/liaison work should seriously
consider this placement. Carolyn
Thornton, MSW, is the director of the placement and supervision would be
by Jim Carter, M.D. Both
are well-known in the area for their work at Lincoln.
4)
Wake County Human Services
(Raleigh, NC) – Wake County Human Services placement is supervised by
Christine Lengowski, M.D. Wake
County is considered innovative in its programming and in its service to
public sector psychiatry. They
have an excellent range of outreach and crisis services.
5)
Durham County Mental
Health Center (Durham, NC) – Durham County Mental Health Center is
the shortest commute for anyone wanting to stay close to home. It is
characterized by an innovative area director, Steve Ashby, Ph.D., as
well as a medical director committed to public sector work, Bryce
Reynolds, M.D. Outstanding
supervision has been provided by Drs. Paul Koscis and Peter Daniolos as
well.
6)
Central Prison
(Raleigh, NC) – The Central Prison rotation is supervised by Jim
Smith, M.D and colleagues. They
have a long history of supervision within the prison system and have
gotten good reviews from residents on the rotation.
A number of residents have enjoyed it a great deal.
7) Federal
Correctional Institution (Butner, NC) – For those of you who are
interested in a more formal placement in forensic work, FCI is probably
a very good choice, along with Central Prison.
FCI is notable for supervision by a number of excellent teachers,
including Sally Johnson, M.D., Jean Zula, M.D., Bruce Berger, M.D and
others.
In general, you should know that in order to give the people at
FCI a sense of continuity, they generally ask for a commitment of a full
day for half a year.
