It is hard to believe another year has gone by so quickly. VCU psychiatry continues to expand with additions of new attending faculty to both adult and child & adolescent psychiatry. The Department of Psychiatry is continuing to offer virtual appointments as well as transitioning back to in-person appointments, and this has allowed patients to receive care across the state of Virginia. Our residents continue to demonstrate a commitment to learning and research, with three posters accepted to APA* and PSV#.
- * # Ambrose, A., DiazGranados, D., Moideen, S., & Shah, B. Assessing Psychiatry Residents’ Confidence in Their Knowledge of Reproductive Psychiatry.
- * Brooks, C., Farsin, R., Zulfiqar, S., & Pandurangi., A. Addressing Mental Healthcare Needs in the Country of Tajikistan.
- * # Dietrich, E., & Bui, M. Proactive Psychiatric Consultations Clinical Utility for Intensive Care Patients with Delirium and Respiratory Failure: A Retrospective Chart Review.

We would like to welcome our incoming intern class: Drs. Lydia Bedford, Ke’Asia Craig, Jacqueline Guo, Michaela Hurley, Ahsal Major, Conrad Masearenhas, Linh Nguyen, Harleen Singh, Husayn Tavangar, Linh Vu, Lijia Zhang.
