THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY
MISSION STATEMENT
The University of New Mexico School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry provides
excellent, innovative education for medical students, resident physicians, scientists, clinical
psychologists, and other health professionals. We endeavor to give the highest quality patient
care for New Mexicans suffering with severe and diverse mental illnesses as well as diligently
pursuing outstanding multidisciplinary research that helps solve important health problems.
We are committed to fostering an academic environment that is characterized by respect,
compassion, and evidence-based approaches in education, clinical care, and scholarship. We
seek to develop and perfect programs that foster and reward synergistic relationships among our
primary goals in education, clinical care, and research in the context of a dramatically changing
health care system.

LETTER from the CHAIR
MAURICIO TOHEN, M.D., DR.P.H., M.B.A.
PROFESSOR and INTERIM CHAIR
During the last year, the Department has seen tremendous changes. Foremost among these is the
successful completion of the search for a permanent chairman. Mauricio Tohen, M.D., Dr.P.H.,
M.B.A. assumed leadership of the Department in February 2013. Dr. Tohen is an internationally
recognized expert in Bipolar Disorders with numerous publications, scientific citations, and a
successful track record in obtaining research funding. He is a doctoral level trained
Epidemiologist who holds an MBA degree.
Our residency program earned an exceptionally positive ACGME site review this year. The
Department began work on creating an intern position for a community and rehabilitation
experience at the NMVAC and developing unique educational tracks to invite residents into
greater specificity over the course of their learning experience, with particular emphasis on
developing unique programs in rural psychiatry and research. The Psychiatry clerkship continued
to receive the highest marks from the UNM School of Medicine. Eight faculty members were
successfully promoted this year, further confirming the Department’s commitment to educational
excellence.
Research remains a high priority. Grants received totaled $9,875,618 with funding from National
Institute of Health, Centers for Biomedical Research Excellence, National Institute on Drug
Abuse, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, W.K. Kellogg Foundation,
Albuquerque Area IHS, New Mexico Health Services Department, the Mind Research Network
and several Native American pueblos. This year, the Department also received two PCORI
Awards. In addition, the Department earned a SAMHSA “National Child Traumatic Stress
Initiative, Category III, Community Treatment and Services Grant.” Through this grant, a clinic
has opened to treat childhood traumatic stress and faculty are training providers, especially those
working with urban Native Americans and military families, in effective screening methods.
Faculty researchers in the Department have actively sought to collaborate on projects in order to
leverage expertise and resources to the greatest extent possible to benefit the people of New
Mexico.
Clinical services expanded with the opening of the 12-bed inpatient geriatric unit at the new
UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center. The University Psychiatric Center saw growth in
nearly all aspects of the practice, reflecting an increase in efficiency and updates to better align
services with the University Hospital and the needs of the state’s communities. The Inpatient
Service overall ran near full capacity. The Department also actively continued its support for the
new 10-bed geriatric psychiatry inpatient unit at the NMVAC. Plans were also underway to
relocate the Addiction and Substance Abuse Program (ASAP) to larger quarters to better serve
the community.
The Department remains strongly committed to community engagement through numerous
programs. In addition to running the largest community mental health center in the state, the
Department – though its Center for Rural and Community Behavioral Health – dedicates
resources to initiatives such as the Honoring Native Life initiative and the expansion of the
5
education series for providers in rural and tribal communities in partnership with IHS
Telebehavioral Health Center of Excellence. Public education on mental illness and substance
abuse is also the goal of the Department’s IDEAS in Psychiatry.
Under the leadership of its new chairman, the Department’s unending commitment to excellence
in all of its mission areas remains the highest goal. Our dedicated faculty and staff each day
strive through education, research, clinical service and community engagement to best benefit all
New Mexicans.

DIVISION of EDUCATION and RESIDENCY TRAINING
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
JEFFREY KATZMAN, M.D.
VICE CHAIR for EDUCATION and ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
Educational programs in the Department include medical student education; general psychiatry
residency; fellowships in geriatric psychiatry, addiction psychiatry, and psychosomatic medicine;
and continuing medical and professional education. Major activities also occur through the rural
psychiatry program, the affiliated child and adolescent psychiatry residency program and the
child psychology and social work internships.
The General Psychiatry Residency Training Program has come to attract the top national
applicants, now competing with the most esteemed universities in the country. The program
successfully filled an incoming internship class and PGYII spots. It was reviewed through the
ACGME site review process and did exceptionally well. The next review is scheduled for ten
years from now, with a self-study in April, 2021. The program received only one citation, which
has been addressed, involving cross coverage when a resident is absent on the inpatient units.
The program has worked with fellowship leaders to create unique learning experiences. Over the
coming year, residents will have one month less of inpatient psychiatry to participate in a unique
community psychiatry rotation. The program anticipates using the ninth intern position this year
through recruitment and to create a community and rehabilitation experience at the NMVAMC.
This year, the program leadership has also begun to delineate unique educational tracks to invite
residents into greater specificity over the course of their learning experience, with particular
emphasis on developing unique programs in rural psychiatry and research. In compliance with
the Next Accreditation System, the program has also created a competency committee and a
program evaluation committee, and is actively working on review of the clinical and didactic
experiences in conjunction with the newly published milestone requirements.
Faculty members continue to participate in the Medical Education Scholars program, the
Medical Student Admissions Committee, the BA/MD program, the medical student clerkship
committee, the residency training program review committee, the GME steering committee, the
faculty forward committee, and multiple promotion and tenure committees, among others. The
medical student education continues to be rated the highest in the medical school.
Eight faculty members were successfully promoted this year. Faculty also connect with mentors
nationally through the IDEAS in Psychiatry program, leading to substantial clinical and
educational program development. Mentors have come as well specifically to work with female
faculty members to identify career opportunities.
Our faculty continues to provide educational experiences outside of the Department, lecturing
extensively as visiting professors in medical schools around the nation and at many national
meetings. They make major contributions to Project ECHO in the areas of pain management,
Hepatitis C, addictions, and General and Child Psychiatry, and have further developed
psychotherapy training programs in collaboration with ECHO; these, too, are recognized
nationally.

MEDICAL STUDENT EDUCATION
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012 - 2013
DEBORAH DELLMORE, M.D., DIRECTOR
Medical student educational activities thrived under the direction of Jeff Katzman, M.D., Vice
Chair for Education, and Deborah Dellmore, M.D., Director of Medical Student Education. Dr.
Dellmore designs, updates, and directs behavioral science and psychiatry exposure throughout
the medical school curriculum. She plays a leadership role within the medical school by serving
as Co-Chair for the Phase II/III Committee (Clerkship Director’s Group). she chairs the SOM
Curriculum Committee and serves on other committees including CSPE, AOA, Search
Committee for new Associate Dean, and Medical Leadership Academy. She is the faculty
support member for the Student Interest Group in Psychiatry. Mary Haley, Curriculum
Development Coordinator for the Medical Student Program, continues to exemplify excellence
in administration of medical student rotations in psychiatry. Pamela Arenella, M.D., served as
Assistant Clerkship Director in Psychiatry from January to June 2013. Scott Carroll, M.D., chairs
CSPE and Pamela Arenella, M.D. is Director of Communication Skills for medical students.
Behavioral science teaching by the Department of Psychiatry in Phase I is integrated into
organ/system-based teaching blocks, with a particular focus and departmental involvement in the
latter half of the Neuroscience Block. Deborah Dellmore, M.D. directs the Behavioral
Neurosciences portion of the block and participates on the block committee. In addition,
departmental faculty participate as tutors, lecturers, and clinical skills preceptors in many other
blocks.
The Phase II component of our educational program is based upon a four-week clerkship in
psychiatry, and the clerkship has continued to rank number one in most areas as rated by students
in the annual Clerkship Compare Report.
In Phase III, the department offers a diverse array of elective four-week experiences in
psychiatry in which students are able to take on an increasing level of responsibility and explore
specific areas of psychiatry in more depth, including sub-internship experiences and electives. In
2013, four students are applying to psychiatry residencies thereby filling a national need for
more psychiatrists and achieving a slightly above the national average recruitment rate.

CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
JEFFREY KATZMAN, M.D., DIRECTOR
The Department of Psychiatry has invested a great deal of resources in the development of a
state-of the-art continuing education program.
To this end, the Department offered a weekly Friday Departmental Conference Series/Grand
Rounds. The Grand Rounds Series took place from September 2012 through June 2013. This
year, the Department sponsored twelve visiting faculty to provide lectures for faculty and
interested community members. Evaluations continue to note the high quality of presentations.
Our faculty and community professionals note the relevance of these presentations to their
practice.
The Department continued to bring mentors to work with faculty members and the community
through the Institute for the Development of Education and Advancements of Science (IDEAS)
in Psychiatry. Internationally celebrated leaders once again spent time with and presented to
faculty, residents, other mental health providers in the community and the public.
Over the coming year, Grand Rounds will be moved to Tuesday, with ongoing faculty
presentations in conjunction with a monthly speaker identified by faculty as a national leader in
the field able to address a particular knowledge or practice gap. The IDEAS program will
continue to target specific needs in the community in an effort to bring state of the art knowledge
about specific mental health issues to community members, providing three lectures a year to the
community.

BRIEF THERAPY TRAINING CLINIC
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
GERARDO VILLARREAL, M.D., DIRECTOR/EDUCATION
This unique training venue for psychiatry residents continues to grow in scope. Although its
educational focus is on psychiatry residents, the clinic occasionally accepts other trainees.
Objectives:
•
To teach PGY-3 residents about short-term psychotherapies generally under the rubric of
cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• To teach residents how to select appropriate patients for these therapies, how to conduct
these therapies, and how to integrate CBT with pharmacotherapy
• To teach residents about the liaison process with other physicians and allied providers
regarding the use of short-term psychotherapies and pharmacotherapy
• To supervise PGY-4 residents that did not achieve the educational goals in their 3rd year
of residency or that elect to continue CBT supervision in their fourth year
The didactic component is held PGY-3 residents every Wednesday at 8-9 am. The component is
topical, covering principles of CBT and other empirically-validated short-term therapies as well
as treatment of specific disorders such as panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder,
depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. Faculty, who have expertise in these areas, teach
the topics. Additionally, each resident presents one topic with faculty supervision. The
curriculum is updated annually. Residents are asked to complete two "Brief Psychotherapy
Competency Assessment – Case Write up and Report" forms on patients they have treated.
Clinical Services
Each PGY-3 sees up to two patients at a time in short-term psychotherapy and to complete at
least 3 cases by the end of the rotation. The patients are referred from other psychiatry clinics
and primary care clinics. Group supervision for this component is held every Friday from 12-1
pm. Supervision is now conducted in a joint meeting in which Dr. Villarreal supervises half of
the residents and Dr. Rielage the other half. At the end of the first six months residents rotate to
the other supervisor. At the end of therapy, each patient is sent back to the referring provider
with a synopsis of treatment, its outcome, and treatment commendations for continued treatment.
The BTTC faculty conducts evaluations of competency for all residents in the clinic, consistent
with the ACGME mandate to provide evidence for competency in training for cognitivebehavioral therapies, combined therapies, and short-term psychotherapies.
Significant Changes and Accomplishments
The BTTC faculty includes Gerardo Villarreal, M.D. and Jennifer Klosterman Rielage, Ph.D.
who joined our program last year. Dr. Rielage’s contributions were recognized by the residents
who awarded her the Robert Kellner Teaching Award for adjunct faculty in 2013.
Plans for 2013-14
We continue to modify the didactics. Residents like and benefit from practical, experiential
exercises such as role-plays, we are expanding those types of exercises.
The supervision time was changed to Mondays from 8-9, Dr. Villarreal will now supervise
residents in the Mental Health Center and Dr. Rielage will continue in the psychiatry department.

INPATIENT SERVICES
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
SHANNON STROMBERG, M.D., MEDICAL DIRECTOR
The Inpatient Services of the Psychiatric Center consist of two adult inpatient units, a geriatric
inpatient unit and an electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) service. The focus of the inpatient units is
on patient protection and safety when one is acutely suicidal, violent or unable to care for
oneself. The inpatient service provides initial assessment and diagnosis, initiation of medication
if indicated, crisis intervention therapy, stabilization, and discharge to an appropriate level of
follow-up care. The ECT service provides this important treatment modality to inpatients and
outpatients. The services are located in the inpatient wing of the UNM Psychiatric Center, with
the exception of ECT which is performed at University Hospital.
Dr. Shannon Stromberg serves as Medical Director for Inpatient Services and is the attending
psychiatrist on the West Ward. The East Ward is staffed by Dr. Gray Clarke. Their clinical skills
and expertise expand the Department’s ability to serve as a major inpatient resource for
psychiatric patients from Albuquerque, Bernalillo County and surrounding areas. The inpatient
services also are a major educational resource for health professionals, including medical
students and post-graduate trainees.
Dr. William Apfeldorf serves as Director for Geropsychiatry Programs. He is also unit chief of
the geriatric unit and has transitioned the unit into a major resource for the School of Medicine,
the University, and New Mexico. Dr. Aaron Brodsky and Dr. Mohamad Khafaja are
geropsychiatrists serving as inpatient attending psychiatrists for the geriatric unit. Their expertise
expands the range of clinical and educational services now offered. Fellows from the Department
of Internal Medicine, Division of Geriatrics, complete two months of training on the geriatric
unit. Referrals for geriatric unit services now come from the entire state, including the pueblos,
while continuing to serve the needs of Bernalillo county seniors.
Dr. Christopher Abbott serves as Medical Director for ECT Services. Under the guidance of Dr.
Abbott, Dr. Davin Quinn and Dr. Mohamad Khafaja, the service operates at capacity year-round.
Over the past year the Inpatient Service, including the geriatric unit, adult units, and ECT
service, have been running near full capacity, and interface clinically and daily with the
Psychiatric Emergency Service (PES), the Psychiatric Consult-Liaison group and the outpatient
clinics. In the midst of all this clinical activity, the Inpatient Services provide a core component
of training to medical, nursing, and physician assistant students, as well as Psychiatry residents.
29
COPE CLINICS
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
SWALA ABRAMS, M.D., MEDICAL DIRECTOR
The COPE clinics provide specialized, integrated, multidisciplinary care to patients identified as
having severe disabling mental illness with psychosis as a primary target symptom. The clinics
use a recovery oriented approach and link clients with community services and peer support
groups. UNM psychotherapy services are also available to interested COPE clinics patients. The
clinics have fluency in a variety of cultures, particularly the varied ethnicities of New Mexico,
and subcultures present in impoverished urban populations.
The clinics team consists of Attending psychiatrists Drs. Swala Abrams, Juan Bustillo, Elizabeth
Weil; Nurse Practitoner Karen May; R.Ns. Kathy Crisp, Andrew Leyba, Deborah Tells, Karen
Vernay; medical assistant Mayra Martinez and case managers Ceci Cuneo, Charlene Pohl, and
Dave Wollesen. Karen Vernay, along with Lorie Dropps, Pharm.D. handle clinical and
administrative support for long acting injection antipsychotic medications. Robert Whittaker,
R.N., holds a 0.8 FTE position as Injection Clinic nurse. COPE front desk staff is Deborah
Gutowski, who is supervised by Kat Featherston. Ulla Jaramillo, R.N., supervises nurses and
serves as nurse manager for the COPE clinics, ECT, and Senior clinic. COPE also works with a
representative payee, who offers social security services to clients. TriCore provides phlebotomy
services weekly to Clozapine patients.
Components of the COPE clinics are:
• Injection Clinic, Dr. Abrams, Medical Director – More than 270 patients receive longacting injection antipsychotic medication. These include Risperdal Consta, Invega
Sustenna, Zyprexa Relprevv, Abilify Maintena and Haloperidol and Fluphenazine
Decanoates.
• Coordinated clinic -Outpatient services are provided to coincide with other appointments
in the system, including injection clinic and representative payee services. More than
600 patients are part of this clinic.
• Outpatient Clinic – Services provided through appointments scheduled independent of
other ancillary services. Dr. Juan Bustillo cares for Spanish-only speaking patients here,
with approximately 30 patients on this panel.
• Clozapine Clinic – Outpatient services provided by Dr. Juan Bustillo. Clinic visits are
coordinated with on-site phlebotomy. Approximately 90 patients. Clozapine use is not
restricted to the COPE clinics.
• MI-DD Clinic – Outpatient services for patients with developmental disability and
psychiatric issues. Clinical services are provided by Dr. Elizabeth Weil and Dr. Alya
Reeve, with support from Kathy Crisp, RN. Approximately 235 patients are part of this
clinic.
COPE clinics provide services for approximately 950 patients. Referrals range from 7-15/month,
with growth of the clinic by approximately 70 patients/ year and attrition of fewer than 20/
annually.
30
The COPE clinics are staffed with 2.5 FTE of provider time, 4 FTE of nursing time, additional
RN time to staff the Injection clinic three half days a week, and one clerk and one medical
assistant. With more than 700 patient visits per month, COPE remains critically under-resourced
in terms of ancillary support services.
The mission and goals of COPE clinics will be achieved with the addition of the primary care
component, enhancement of pharmacy services, development of point of care case management,
opportunities for psycho-education for patients and family members, and increased surveillance
for medication adherence and screening for medical problems, and expansion of clinical services,
including through the development of resident educational opportunities.
Additional crucial goals are to maximize use of team RN members’ skills and training by
increasing clinical contact with patients and families and developing opportunities to participate
in health services delivery research as a means of further improving care to the vulnerable
population service by the COPE clinics.
31
RECOVERY RESILIENCY PROGRAM
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
KATHRYN FRASER, M.D., MEDICAL DIRECTOR
The Recovery Resiliency Program (RRP) focuses on patients with affective, anxiety and
personality disorders. It is multi-disciplinary and staffed by attending psychiatrists, advanced
nurse practitioners (APNs), nurses, therapists, comprehensive community support specialists
(formerly case managers), peer bridgers and clerical staff. It promotes recovery with the goal of
best possible feeling and functioning. Once patients improve, most are transferred to primary
care providers for prescription of their psychiatric medications.
The program uses a recovery model of treatment and is starting to employ a chronic disease
model as well. This includes initial scales and assessments, and follow-ups by team nurses.
Information is shared with providers (psychiatrists and APNs) to help manage and improve care.
Nurses have started a patient education group focusing on medication issues and have worked
with Dr. Fraser on a recovery resiliency education group currently run by a psychotherapist.
With both these models, care can move towards more nurse visits with providers shifting into
more of a consultant role. This type of care should improve individual patient progress and
improve access for new patients. A challenge for our program has been lack of enough nursing
time to shift the clinical visits from psychiatric providers to nurses.
In addition to Dr. Fraser, other providers of clinical care are Drs. Cruz, Teufel, and Nickell and
APNs Mary Beth Yutzy and Carol Capitano. Mina Khazze, RN is the head nurse and other
nurses include Anne Stats, Hurbina Sandoval, Maryanne Golden and Mary Findsplaces. Sam
Nickell, M.D., a former PGY-4 resident was the first to do a clinical elective with the program.
The aim is to have at least one fourth-year resident in a clinical elective, although this year we
did not have a resident. This program might become a required or elective clinical site for PGY-3
residents as well.
Services:
• Individual medication treatment of affective, anxiety and personality disorders by
psychiatrists or APNs
• Nursing visits: individual for assessments and follow-ups and groups for orientation,
medication, recovery issues
• Psychotherapy by referral for groups and individual therapy
• Comprehensive Community Support Services (CCSS) (formerly case management) by
referral and referral to Peer Bridger program run by Pat Loyd
• Multi-disciplinary team meetings held weekly with team provider, RN, CCSS and
therapist (as needed) and monthly BIG RRP meeting with all team members
• PGY-4 psychiatry resident elective supervised by Drs. Fraser, Cruz and Nickell
• Psychosocial Rehabilitation Service and Caminante (work assistance program) referrals
Research
The Program is not currently involved with research, however, plans are being considered to
begin an assessment project of patients using an instrument such as the Recovery Oriented
Systems Indicators Measure (ROSI) and/or the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale.
32
PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY SERVICES (PES)
and PHONE TRIAGE
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
PEGGY RODRIGUEZ, M.D., MEDICAL DIRECTOR
Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) provides emergent and urgent psychiatric care services 24
hours, 7 days a week, for residents of Bernalillo County, surrounding counties, and others who
need immediate psychiatric treatment. PES provides education for psychiatry residents, medical
students, rotators from other services, and nursing students.
In addition to the above-mentioned county and educational services provided, PES assesses and
treats patients from the UNMH Emergency Department as well other community emergency
rooms, law enforcement referrals, and community ambulance referrals. Also, PES serves as the
back-up assessment and admission service for the Children’s Psychiatric Hospital when
extremely acute children or adolescents require assessment and admission outside of regular
business hours.
Besides its direct clinical and educational services, PES provides video consultation to the
Sandoval Regional Medical Center Emergency department for psychiatric patients in their ED.
PES functions as the gateway to the Psychiatric Center’s inpatient services and offers phone
support to providers, families and patients throughout the state. PES also serves as the admission
service for the majority of outpatients served at the UNM Psychiatric Center.
Patients are triaged within 15 minutes of arrival to determine the level of care needed. Those
requiring emergency medical care are transferred to the medical emergency room (ER), and
others are divided according to acuity/risk and are seen in order of level of immediate need.
A significant amount of time is spent serving the community as an educational and referral
source for low acuity patients seeking psychiatric care. Low acuity patients are served through
the Psychiatric Urgent Care Center. The Psychiatric Urgent Care Center (PUCC) is staffed by
registered and advanced practice nurses.
Personnel:
PES attending staff consists of Drs. Peggy Rodriguez and Jeffery Dunn, and CNP’s Yolanda
Morales, Julie Tenbrook and Gloria Dixon.

SPANISH SPEAKING CLINIC
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
JUAN BUSTILLO, M.D., SECTION CHIEF
New Mexico is geographically the fifth largest state and has the largest proportion of Hispanic
population of any state in the Union. Approximately 40% of New Mexico’s population is of
Spanish and Mexican-American ancestry. A significant portion of this population is marginally
bilingual, that is speaking Spanish far more comfortably than English. The Spanish Speaking
Clinic is in its thirteenth year of operation. It has been wholeheartedly supported through the
Department of Psychiatry and implemented at the University of New Mexico Psychiatric Center
(UPC). It is a general psychiatric clinic that is part of the COPE Clinic. The nursing staff in this
clinic is also fluent in Spanish. Case management is routinely available to patients in this clinic.
The case managers are also fluent in Spanish. The clinic is under the direction of Juan Bustillo,
MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience.
The Spanish Speaking Clinic continues to serve as a template for the development of culturally
competent interventions at the Health Sciences Center. It is hoped that more clinics like this will
enable a significant portion of the Hispanic population in New Mexico to have access to the
health care delivery system at the Health Sciences Center in a way that yields better
communication with health care providers and more compliance with treatment. If this model is
successful it will provide fertile ground for descriptive publications in the arena of culturally
competent interventions.
It is anticipated that, if clinics like the Spanish Speaking Clinic are successful, the Health
Sciences Center’s clinical enterprise will focus on more appropriate culturally sensitive and
culturally competent interventions.
Research
Clinics like the Spanish Speaking Clinic continue to provide a forum for understanding and
investigating differences in treatment and outcome in the Hispanic and Mexican-American
populations of the Southwest.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL CONSULTATION PSYCHIATRIC SERVICE
(ADULT CL)
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
DAVIN QUINN, M.D., MEDICAL DIRECTOR
The Adult Psychiatric Consultation Service provides psychiatric services and psychiatric
education at University Hospital, and is the clinical conduit between inpatient UH and the
University Psychiatric Center.
The clinical caseload includes highly acute psychiatric patients, such as those who have made
suicide attempts severe enough to warrant medical hospitalization; legally and ethically complex
cases in which a patient’s decisional capacity is in question; cases of difficult interpersonal
interactions between patients, their families and hospital personnel; and management of agitated
and violent patients. The service also offers expertise in diagnosing and treating neuropsychiatric
sequelae of medical, surgical, obstetrical, and neurological disorders, including: delirium,
epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, stroke, infections, cancer, immune disorders, cardiovascular
disease, chronic pain, and toxic syndromes. The service manages major Axis I psychiatric
disorders in patients hospitalized for medical or surgical reasons. Studies have shown that
intervention from Consultation Psychiatry decreases the length of inpatient medical
hospitalizations. The Psychiatric Consultation Service saw approximately 1,400 initial
consultations in 2012-2013.
Notable changes to the service from the previous year include the graduation of the UNM
Psychosomatic Medicine Fellowship Program’s first fellow, Dr. Brant Hager; completion of a
Rapid Improvement Exercise to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the service; and
continued collaboration with various medical and surgical teams, including the Epilepsy Surgery
Division, the Movement Disorders Service, and the Renal Transplant Service. The consultation
service maintains a database of all consultations and follow-up visits with information on
diagnosis, length of stay, and complexity; the outpatient consultation clinic (the Somatic
Disorders Clinic) continues to be a teaching rotation for both residents and fellows; the
neuropsychiatry interest group for psychiatry trainees and faculty meets monthly and pulls
interested parties from neurology and neuropsychology; and a new monthly psychosomatic
journal club has been initiated.
Rotating through our service are medical students, psychology interns, and residents from
Psychiatry and Family Practice. We also provide education about psychiatry to hospital
physicians and staff.
PERSONNEL:
Davin Quinn, M.D., Medical Director; Janet Robinson, Ph.D., Chief Administrator and Staff
Psychologist; Brant Hager, M.D., Staff Psychiatrist; Gray Clarke, M.D., Staff Psychiatrist;
Alfredo Aragon, Ph.D., Staff Psychologist; Nicole Duranceaux, Ph.D.; Marjorie Buck, R.N.,

GEROPSYCHIATRY SERVICES
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
WILLIAM APFELDORF, M.D., Ph.D., GEROPSYCHIATRY CHIEF
The Geropsychiatry Service provides mental health services, through a multidisciplinary team of
geriatric psychiatrists, geriatricians, nurses, social workers, and case managers, to patients age 65
and older. It continues to combine an appreciation of patients’ medical status as well as caring
for their psychiatric needs. Dr. William Apfeldorf leads the Geropsychiatry Service which
includes the geropsychiatry inpatient service, the outpatient Senior Clinic, and Senior Clinic
extension to Manzano del Sol nursing home. This organization provides vertical integration for
those patients who may need to access different levels of service to best meet their psychiatric
needs. Dr. Aaron Brodsky and Dr Mohamad Khafaja serve as attending psychiatrists for the
geriatric psychiatry inpatient service and as consultant geropsychiatrists for Manzano del Sol
Nursing Home. Dr. Christopher Abbott serves as chief of Seniors Clinic and is the chief
attending psychiatrist for the Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Service. He has also begun
collaborative research at the MIND Institute targeting psychosis in the elderly. Dr. Fazal Khan
joined our faculty to serve the newly established geropsychiatry inpatient service at Sandoval
Regional Medical Center.
Referrals come from many sources, including University Psychiatric Center’s Intake and General
Clinic Services, the geropsychiatry inpatient services, other components of UNM Health
Sciences Center and from providers throughout the county and state.
The Geriatric Psychiatry Fellowship program, accredited by ACGME, is now funded by
University Hospital and the Ralph Murphy VA Medical Center. Working closely with Drs.
Howard Berger and Christina Trevino at the VA, this program provides clinical training in this
underserved field, especially critical given the rapid increase in the New Mexico senior
population and the lack of services or infrastructure to meet their needs. Geriatric Medicine
fellows continue to rotate through the inpatient unit. This has enhanced the medicine/psychiatric
care interface for patients. Additionally, the ties between the University Psychiatric Center and
the Senior Health Clinic continue to strengthen.
Services
• Inpatient psychiatric services for evaluation and stabilization of acute psychiatric
problems provided by an interdisciplinary team led by a geropsychiatrist
• Individual outpatient medication management by a geropsychiatrist
• Outpatient RN monitoring including medication monitoring, and follow-up visits
• Geriatric psychiatry consultations for Manzano del Sol Nursing Home
• Psychotherapy, both individual and group
• Senior case management services
Future Planning
To better align the organization of geropsychiatry services to reflect the span and missions of
UNM School of Medicine, HSC and Medical Group, the group seeks to structure as a Division to
better collaborate with groups across our multiple campuses.
36
UNIVERSITY PSYCHIATRIC CONSULTANTS
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
JEFFREY KATZMAN, M.D., MEDICAL DIRECTOR
The University Psychiatric Consultant (UPC) Clinic is a faculty-run practice located within the
Department of Psychiatry on the 4th Floor of the Family Practice and Psychiatry Building. The
clinic provides services Monday through Friday. Administrative support for UPC includes a
clinic supervisor, scheduling services and psychiatric nursing support.
Clinical Services
The UPC Clinic delivers outstanding clinical services provided by Department faculty across a
range of specialty services including general adult, geriatric and child & adolescent psychiatry.
UPC clinic services include evaluation and treatment with psychopharmacology and
psychotherapy. Although faculty members will provide consultation and evaluation to a variety
of patients and providers, the clinic continues to ensure that University of New Mexico staff,
faculty and students receive priority access to clinical services.
In addition, the clinic continues to provide timely and convenient clinical support to both
Undergraduate and Graduate Medical Education for house staff and medical students in need of
psychiatric care. Faculty provide emergent same-day evaluations to residents throughout the
School of Medicine. The UPC enjoys an outstanding reputation especially among UNM
employees and families who utilizing these valuable and increasingly rare clinical services.
Given continued outreach to the community, the Department anticipates a growing demand for
services in this clinic over the coming year. This has been accelerated in part through ongoing
outreach and communication to New Mexico through various programs in the Department of
Psychiatry.
Finally, the clinic serves as a referral source for the entire city of Albuquerque. Many of these
patients cannot be seen by Department faculty, but a referral is always made, and these patients
generally let us know that this clinic was the only place that they could find someone to help
them through the maze of psychiatric services in Albuquerque.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL PSYCHOSOMATIC
MEDICINE SERVICE (CHILD)
ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013
SCOTT CARROLL, M.D.
MEDICAL DIRECTOR
The Child and Adolescent Psychosomatic Medicine Service (PSM), formally known as the Child
and Adolescent Consult/Liaison Service, provides psychiatric evaluations, behavioral
management, neuropsychiatric and psychosomatic evaluation and treatment and coordinates both
outpatient and inpatient psychiatric aftercare to children and adolescents hospitalized at the
Children's Hospital of New Mexico and Carrie Tingley Hospital. Participation in patient care
conferences, teaching, and support to medical and nursing staff are other services routinely
provided.
Education
All first-year child psychiatry fellows and pediatric neurology fellows rotate through the Child
PSM Service; general psychiatry residents, medical students and psychology interns may also
elect to do so. During the rotation, fellows, residents and interns are able to conduct psychiatric
consultations in supervised settings and develop useful skills and experience working with
medically ill children and their families.
Clinical Services
Patients and families served by the Child and Adolescent Psychosomatic Medicine Service are
representative of the most acutely ill and psychosocially complicated patients in New Mexico.
Children who have survived a serious suicide attempt, medically noncompliant children with
severe disorders such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis and organ transplant; along with gravely ill
children with cancer are among those treated by the Child and Adolescent PSM Service.
Children traumatized by injuries from motor vehicle accidents, burns, and dog mauling are
routinely evaluated and treated. Our service also provides assistance to terminally-ill children, as
well as to their parents and siblings during the final weeks and days of life. Approximately 246
consults were performed this year. Some were seen only once, but most were seen multiple times
over the patient's hospitalization.
Dr. Carroll, with the assistance of a psychotherapist, has also partnered with multiple clinical
services within UNM Hospital, both pediatric and adult (for young adults - 18 to 21 years old and chronically ill teens transitioning to adult care) as well as allied health services to provide
carefully coordinated care to the most complex and ill young patients and their families in the
Southwest. Dr. Carroll has a special expertise in working with pediatric oncology and
hematology patients and 4 years ago started the Pediatric Psycho-Oncology Clinic that is
embedded in the Pediatric Oncology clinic, where he currently cares for ~75 pediatric oncology
patients and their families.

Care for Homeless Veterans program and the MHICM program, an Assertive Community
Treatment model serving the seriously mentally ill Veteran population
• The Primary Care Mental Health Integration team – outpatient clinical elective for PGY3 residents this year offering a model of co-located, collaborative mental health care
within the primary care team setting
• Substance Use Disorders (SUD) program – offers clinical rotations for the Addiction
Fellowship Program.
VA researchers, led by Dr. José Cañive and, neuropsychologist Dr. Kathleen Haaland, continue
to be highly productive with numerous active studies and publications in the past year. The focus
of current VA research includes the following clinical areas: cognitive behavioral and
psychopharmacological treatments in PTSD; auditory processing abnormalities and novel
pharmacological treatments in schizophrenia and stroke rehabilitation, neurocognitive function.
Plans FY 2013-2014
This year the VA finished construction on a 10-bed Geriatric Psychiatry inpatient unit expected
to open in November 2013. Two Geriatric Psychiatrists were hired to staff the unit and enhance
our outpatient and consultation service to this population. The new staff will be involved in
teaching and resident supervision as well as fellowship training and they will join the faculty at
UNM.

instituted to recognize outstanding resident research, is announced at Psychiatry Graduation, and
includes a cash award. Nery A. Diaz, D.O., was the 2012-2013 recipient of the Award.
Rosenbaum Award – Clinical/Psychosocial Research in Psychiatry
Dr. Milton Rosenbaum, a member of the Department until his death in 2003, generously
provided substantial funding in perpetuity to support pilot projects in the area of clinical/
psychosocial research in psychiatry. Priority is placed on studies that provide data to initiate or
further a research career and will lead to applications for external funding for additional
investigation. All faculty and residents in the Department are encouraged to apply for seed grants
($4,000 or less) to support one-year projects. The research committee selects proposals based on
potential significance, scientific merit, feasibility, and potential to impact on future research
career.
Brian Isakson, Ph.D. and Denise Lin, M.D. were the 2012 recipients of the Rosenbaum Award to
support their research. Dr. Isakson’s proposal was titled “Developing a ‘Moving On’ Narrative
as an Engagement Tool for Treating Trauma”, and Dr. Lin’s proposal was titled “Cardiometabolic Disease Parameters, Vitamin D and Magnesium Status in Schizophrenia.”
