The
University of Kentucky Department of Psychiatry will
be graduating eight
residents this year at the Residents' Awards and Graduation
Banquet on June
13, 2002, at UK's Spindletop Hall. There are five residents
who will be
completing training in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry:
Dr. Tamela Gilbert,
Dr. Lynn Mousel and Dr. JoSharon Haydon in
regular Child & Adolescent
training, and Dr. Susan Slade and Dr. Circe
Cooke in Triple Board. Dr.
Gilbert has taken a position as Medical Director at
Samaritan Hospital in
Lexington. Dr. Haydon will be going into private practice
in Lexington.
Returning to her home state of Nebraska, Dr. Lynn Mousel
will join the
faculty at the Creighton-Nebraska's Department of Child
Psychiatry. Dr.
Slade, who has been the Child Chief Resident this year,
will be taking a
position with the Adanta Comprehensive Care Center in
Somerset. Dr. Cooke
will actually finish her training in September and is
still considering
several employment options.
From
the General Psychiatry program, Dr. Timothy Allen,
Chief Resident, will
be pursuing a Forensic Fellowship at Tulane. Dr.
Brian Greenlee will be
moving to Dartmouth for a Neuropsychiatry Fellowship.
The Department of
Psychiatry hopes that both these residents will consider
returning to
Lexington following their fellowships. Earlier in the
year, Dr. Gwynn
Fister completed her training and has established
a private practice in
Lexington in General Psychiatry with special interest
in adults with mental
disabilities.
We
are quite proud of these excellent residents who are
completing training

significantly in their
chosen area of expertise both here and in other parts
of the country.
