The Quadruple Threat Department
The goal of every academic department is to achieve national recognition for its
contributions to the generation, dissemination and application of medical knowledge.
In medical schools, we refer to that as the tripartite mission of research, teaching,
and clinical care. Every chair aspires to move his or her department from good to
great. But how is that done? Is there a recipe, a method, or a catalyst to do that?
It is no secret that the main key to excellence in an academic department is the

quality of the faculty, because the faculty are the department. Thus, faculty achievements, individually and collectively, determine the stature of a department and
whether or not it is pre-eminent. Traditionally, chairs have always tried to recruit
“triple-threat” faculty, but such faculty members are very few in number. So a more
pragmatic goal is to have a “triple-threat department”, where some faculty excel in
research, others excel in teaching, and a subset stands out as outstanding clinicians.
What are the criteria that identify faculty as excellent in one of the academic mis-

sions? Here is a list of well known parameters:
Outstanding Research Faculty

So building a triple-threat department requires assembling a group of faculty from each of the above categories.
But there is also a fourth dimension needed to elevate a department to the elite category of a quadruple-threat departments. These faculty of top-notch departments manifest the following important attributes:
Excellence in Academic Professionalism

Always treat each other and their staff with respect, and their patients with compassion

Are models of professionalism in their personal lives and clinical work

Project a professional image of being well dressed, well groomed, and well spoken

Are always punctual for their patients and for all department functions

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR (CONTINUED)

Provide the department chair with constructive suggestions to improve the department’s functions

Are unquestionably ethical with impeccable integrity

Are collegial with each other, readily willing to cover for a sick colleague or a colleague on vacation or attending
a conference

Promote a culture of mentoring their junior colleagues (including trainees) as well as mentoring each other in
clinical, teaching, and research matters, depending on the need

Respect and uphold diversity of people and opinions

Have inner strength and self-confidence to accept constructive criticism from their peers or supervisors

Are good academic citizens of the department, serve on committees or task forces, and participate meaningfully
in the day-to-day administrative functions of the department



Belong to local, state, national, and international associations and scholarly societies

Become officers in professional organizations, raising the profile of the department by serving as secretaries,
treasurers, vice-presidents, and presidents of various organizations

Help connect the department or medical school with potential donors to the university

Respect and uphold diversity of people and opinions
So in conclusion, a quadruple-threat department is comprised of a diverse group faculty with variable skills who
promote the academic missions and bring glory to the department in multiple ways. Coupled with dedicated and
experienced staff, (receptionists, administrative assistants, program coordinators, technicians, research assistants,
medical assistants, nurses, billers and business managers) as well as the housekeeping staff. It is a wonderful
“Academic Village” that accomplishes the multi-faceted goals of an academic department. I am confident we will
achieve our high aspirations for our DNP.

M . D.
After over 29 years of dedicated service
to Saint Louis University and the Departments of Neurology, Psychiatry &
Ophthalmology, with 22 of those years
as Chair of Neurology, Dr. John Selhorst is bidding SLU and St. Louis farewell and moving on to the next chapter
in his life. Lauren Schwarz and Stacie
Thebeau sat down with Dr. Selhorst to
reminisce about his years at Saint Louis
University.
In your opinion how have academic medical practices changed over your tenure?
“I believe that academic medical practices have gotten much bigger. The organizational structures have also added
to their improvement. Unfortunately, I do feel that the academic medical system has been stressed by declining reimbursement rates and increasing regulations. Luckily, in my opinion, I do not feel that this has changed the quality of
teaching of medical students, residents, and fellows.”
As one of the longest serving chairs of neurology in the US, what advice would you give to up-and-coming practitioners?
“When I first started in practice there were no treatments for Multiple Sclerosis and there were limited treatments for
conditions such as Myasthenia Gravis and Parkinson's disease, but over time, due to research in neurosciences,
treatment options have significantly expanded. I have seen the demand for neurologists increase and that the science of neurology has led to more awareness in both public and medical communities.”
“I believe the future of neurology is bright in terms of demand. I urge all new practitioners to learn what they can in
training because they will be expected to know a lot!”
What qualities do you think has been instrumental in your success as a leader?
“I received three pieces of advice from past mentors that have served me well. One, from a former department chair
who told me to always be a gentleman. Second, a colleague in neuro-ophthalmology told me that in order to be a
department chair you have to have a cast iron stomach. And finally, three, a neurosurgeon friend shared with me that
when you become a chair - make the department in your own image. My image was an education devoted department. I am a self-declared “chronic student!”
What is one of your fondest memories while in the department?
“I remember shoveling snow and ice off of the roof of the Doctor’s Office Building in November 1986 in order to stop
leaks in our offices below! Also being the chair of ophthalmology TWICE, where I was required to be a gentleman
and have a cast iron stomach. However, one of my most significant memories was when Mrs. Souers came to donate to establish a stroke program.”

What is one of your fondest memories while in the department? (cont.)
“Mr. Sidney Souers, former director of the CIA, Executive Secretary of the National Security Council, and Special
Consultant to the President on military and foreign affairs, suffered a stroke and passed away. In honor of her husband’s memory, Mrs. Souers wanted to donate to a program devoted to the prevention, intervention, and rehabilitation of stroke. In 1986, Ms. Souers’s donated $200,000 to our Neurology Department for stroke and eventually gifted
18% of her trust to the program.”
If you could have picked another career what would have been?
“I started my career in the early 1970s in internal medicine and perhaps, in another life, I would've ended up in that
specialty, but after a two month rotation with Dr. Robert Woolsey, neurology won.”
What is the next step for John Selhorst?
“Charleston South Carolina for more time with my wife, daughters, granddaughters, and golf game!”
What are you going to miss most about St. Louis?
“My wife's large, close family. Mary is the oldest of ten and five are still here in St. Louis. Having such a big family
and support system close by will be missed.”
What do you think is the biggest misconception about you?
“Early in my career people thought I was aloof, but I’m just too serious.”
Do you believe that there is an “urban legend” about John Selhorst within the Department or University?
“Geeze no!”
Any parting words of wisdom for the department?
“Keep growing, keep developing. I believe the department really starts and ends with the staff. When I started there
was a core group of staff that were very dedicated and they still are. The staff has always been fantastic with assisting in the recruitment of residents and faculty members by helping them obtain visas, places to live. Because of this I
feel that we have recruited better residents and faculty members. I have always been very proud of the residency
program and over the years have enjoyed visiting with residents and being impressed with their success!!!”
Lauren Schwarz
Thank you Dr. Selhorst for all you have done for the Department!
You will be missed by ALL! Good luck and enjoy your retirement!

The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge, M.D.
Scientific read for doctors and patients alike! The Brain That Changes Itself is a remarkable
collection of stories that tell us of researchers, physicians, and patients who “without operations
or medications, they have made use of the brain’s hitherto unknown ability to change”. Topics
range from obsessions and compulsions to stroke. A must read for neurologists and psychiatrists.

There are places in the world where darkness rules, where it's unwise to walk. Sunshine knew that. But
there hadn't been any trouble out at the lake for years, and she needed a place to be alone for a while.
Unfortunately, she wasn't alone. She never heard them coming. Of course you don't, when they're vampires.
They took her clothes and sneakers. They dressed her in a long red gown. And they shackled her to
the wall of an abandoned mansion - within easy reach of a figure stirring in the moonlight.
She knows that he is a vampire. She knows that she's to be his dinner, and that when he is finished
with her, she will be dead. Yet, as dawn breaks, she finds that he has not attempted to harm her. Now it
is he who needs her to help him survive the day.

On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane’s bombardier, who was struggling to
a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second
World War.
The lieutenant’s name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he’d been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had
channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin
Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an
airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.
Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and
starvation, enemy aircraft, and beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with
rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.

SLU Residents in Psychiatry Present on Novel
Psychiatric Substances at AAFS Workshop
February 24, 2014
Mehrzad Seraji, M.D. and Andres Jovel, M.D., residents in psychiatry in the SLU Department of Neurology & Psychiatry, and Mihaela V.
Stoica, M.D., recent SLU resident in psychiatry and now a resident in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Miami, presented
clinical case reports of psychiatric inpatients whose recent consumption of Novel Psychiatric Substances (NPS) led to altered, dangerous
mental states and behaviors.
The program was a full day workshop titled “Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS): Pharmacology, Toxicology, Psychiatry, and Case Reports” which was held in conjunction with the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) in Seattle,
Washington in February. Attended by 130 professionals of various forensic disciplines (and the AAFS section of Criminalistics, General,
Pathology/Biology, Psychiatry, Behavioral, Science, plus a number of nonmembers of AAFS), the workshop aimed to inform psychiatric
practitioners of the epidemiological, pharmacological, toxicological, psychiatric, and legal/forensic aspects of various classes and specific preparations of NPSs that have emerged on the drug abuse scene in recent years. Sometimes called “designer drugs”, produced to
induce so-called “legal highs” and intended to avoid legal regulation and detection by routine drug testing, these agents challenge treating clinicians in accurately diagnosing mental and physical conditions caused by such drugs. They also challenge legislatures and law
enforcement agencies in their attempts to promote public safety. The workshop paired clinical case reports involving specific NPSs with
corresponding discussions of the pharmacology and toxicology of the represented classes of such NPSs. Other presenters included scientific and forensic experts from the United Kingdom and Germany as well as the United States.
Dr. Jovel presented a clinical case example of delirium from the novel sympathetic tryptamine 5-MeO-Dalt. His report on this case is in
press with the Journal of Forensic Sciences. A case of intoxication and suicidal ideation from methoxetamine use was discussed by
Mehrzad Seraji, M.D. Mihaela V. Stoica, M.D., discussed a case of acute psychosis induced by “bath salts”, which was recently published
in the Journal of Forensic Sciences.
The workshop was jointly sponsored by the Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, and Toxicology sections of AAFS. Alan R. Felthous, M.D.,
chaired the workshop with Sherri L. Kacinko, Ph.D., (toxicologist) as co-chair. Also instrumental in organizing the workshop was Barry K.
Logan, Ph.D. (toxicologist and AAFS president). The workshop was sponsored by the Fredric Rieders Family Renaissance Foundation.
