TEACHING NARRATIVE
I am currently supervising child and adolescent psychiatry fellow Taryn Park.
From May 2008-September of 2011 I had extensive teaching responsibilities within Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, including
directing and attending in the CAP-1 Evaluation Clinic, supervising the caseloads of most
CAP-1 fellows, and supervising nurse practitioner and medical students rotating through
the Childrens Center. In 2009 I was a preceptor in the PISCES program, an innovative
longitudinal clerkship for a select group of medical students. In addition I taught a
general child and adolescent psychiatry and school consultation to psychology postdoctoral trainees at San Francisco General Hospital.
