 The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health (DOPBH), Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine (HWCOM), continues to fulfill its educational and scientific missions. A few months ago the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) completed an institutional review of the Citrus Health Network (CHN)/FIU Psychiatry Residency Program. We are pleased to announce the ACGME has granted the program continued accreditation. This a tribute to all of the individuals who have worked hard to make the program a success.
Congratulations to Adriana Foster, MD and Eric Wagner, PhD. The US Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has awarded FIU a $1.8 million, four-year-grant to train masters level clinicians across disciplines in behavioral health to work with underserved and underrepresented communities. The project will be led by Dr Wagner, Robert Stempel College of Public Health & Social Work and Dr Foster, Vice Chair of Research & Clinical Programs for our department. The grant will fund the FIU Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training Fellowship, which will also include behavioral health faculty experts from the College of Arts, Science, and Education and the Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing and Health Sciences. Under the auspices of Dr Foster we continue to develop our research programs with the submission of several research grants currently under review.
A generous donation in 2017, received from Chantal D’Adesky Scheinberg, MD, is funding a study by Margaret Sibley, PhD, Associate Professor for the department. The research project aims to understand the phenomenon of late-onset ADHD by obtaining detailed psychiatric, cognitive, biological, behavioral and neuroimaging measurements from adolescents with ADHD symptoms that first emerge after age 12. This information will lead to a better understanding of what led ADHD symptoms to emerge in adolescence, rather than childhood. As a retired adolescent endocrinologist, Dr Scheinberg has an interest in understanding how the adolescent developmental period may exacerbate mental health symptoms. Her input led to the inclusion of endocrine measures of pubertal timing as a novel aspect of this project. Dr Sibley is collaborating with Anthony Dick, PhD and Paulo Graziano, PhD in the Department of Psychology on this project.
We are fortunate to have Carlos Salgado, MD join our faculty. Dr Salgado is a child and adolescent psychiatrist who brings his educational, academic and clinical experience to his position as Chief of Educational Programs for the department. He will oversee the department’s educational activities for Masters of Physician Studies students and international visiting medical students. In addition, he will serve as the founding Program Director for the CHN-FIU Child & Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship program.
Carissa Caban-Aleman, MD, Assistant Professor in our department has transitioned from Camillus Health Concern to FIU Student Health Services. FIU is the fourth largest university campus by enrollment in the United States. Dr Caban-Aleman leadership and clinical expertise will be utilized in her service as Director of Behavioral Health at the Student Health Services. Our Student Health Services are committed to providing the best, quality care for all of our learners. Dr Caban-Aleman will bring her expertise in public psychiatry and administration to further develop access and continue to improve the quality of care to our students seeking psychiatric care.
Departmental faculty and staff are active at all of our clinical sites. In addition to the FIU Student Health Service, our psychiatrists and therapists provide clinical care at several of our contracted affiliates and at the HWCOM Faculty Group Practice sites in Miami and Ft Lauderdale. Viviana Miller, LCSW has joined our clinical practice and she brings her clinical skills to both our Miami and Broward sites. Through our FIU Health Faculty Group Practice we continue to provide quality specialty clinical care and serve as valuable clinical venues for all of our learners.
The Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Health remains committed to its departmental values and seeking excellence in everything we do.

 Regina Carney, MD
Voluntary Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Health
Regina Carney, MD is a Voulntary Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health. She is psychiatrist and educator working at the Miami Veterans Administration. Dr Carney provides vital mental health care for our veterans and educates our students in this challenging setting. We asked Dr Carney a few questions about her teaching and this is what she had to say:
What drives you as an educator?
“I think of teaching as a force multiplier, allowing you to effect greater changes than you could ever do one-on-one. As an attending physician, I enjoy helping to shape attitudes and standards, to empower learners to work as part of a team, to encourage collaborative care, and to demonstrate that everyone’s input is valued. We all like to share what we know; ideas and facts are very exciting. As a teacher, you get to transmit this knowledge to the next generation. It’s a great deal of fun to be in this role!”
Why do you teach in the way that you teach?
“I try to balance the academic aims of the rotation with levity and room for individualism. The hope is that the team is a place where expectations are clear and everyone feels valued, engaged, and motivated to participate. People learn when they are not fearful or intimidated, but are challenged and asked to think critically, so I try to foster that environment of discovery and curiosity. I also think patient care improves when many viewpoints are heard, as long as clear decisions result.”
How did you learn to teach?
“Mentors and personal experiences have been key, but it’s been an iterative process. Being a student for so many years makes you question why some teachers are more effective than others, and you hope to emulate the successful ones. My own mentors in research and education had a profound impact on my teaching style. In residency, there were a few classes on “teaching to teach” that helped to put a structure behind the approach as well.”
Any other comments?
“Teaching medical students and residents is an honor, and it is extremely rewarding. I hope students will consider teaching and mentoring in their career plans, because it is one of the great traditions of medicine. We are here, as the Hippocratic Oath says, “to teach them this art, if they want to learn it.”
Dr Carney’s students describe her as an exceptional preceptor who goes above and beyond in creating the most positive learning experience for her students.
