Hello Central California Psychiatrists, this will mark my first (and highly overdue)
submission as Editor of the CCPS newsletter. As we start a new and change filled year I feel it
is time to enlist your help. What do you want to hear about in your district branch newsletter?
What topics are on your mind in this changing climate of medicine and mental health? It is
also a plea to submit your articles and ideas for publication. To paraphrase a former supervisor
we owe it to ourselves and to our profession to write and share our ideas lest we become
stagnant.
Speaking of revitalization, on the horizon is our annual CME event at the majestic Intercontinental
Hotel in Monterey, California March 21st – 23rd. We have an excellent line up planned, including a segment
on the new DSM V. What better way to spend the weekend than improving your knowledge of psychiatry
with plenty of down time to enjoy the beauty of the California coastline (did I mention the full service spa and
Monterey Bay Aquarium within walking distance of the hotel?) I hope to see you there!

Is That All There Is?
Markham Kirsten , MD
Kaiser Permanente
“…If not now, when?” My 65th birthday loomed. I had grown quite comfortable 27 years as elder staff
psychiatrist and curmudgeon in The Permanente Medical Group, Fresno; 35 years among vineyards; 38 as a
psychiatrist; five Boards; Life Fellow; Associate professor. Should I leave the stage while they are still
applauding, as vaudevillians advise? And after retirement?
I have counseled patients re the necessity of work and hazard of retirement. Disability or leisure are not a holy
grail. Is retirement a nirvana of endless weekends, no on call, long hours perusing the New York Times, sipping
coffee, internet surfing, catching up on reading, dragging grand kids on outings and pruning fruit trees?
But wait, there’s more: my internist father “retired” at 65 relocated NYC to San Diego, worked for Social Security
until four score years. Old docs don’t retire, they do chart review.
How long should I wander the wilderness of the San Joaquin before entering the Promised Land south of the San
Gabriel Mountains? My wife reminds me of proximity to family in the land of film and money, where the critical
mass of 22 million people suffer more depression and psychosis than psychiatrists could hallucinate.
So painful, sad to exit this sinecure, pack my dusty office, a lump aches my throat. Retirement parties, gifts, hugs,
breaking the news to patients who have heard good-byes often.
Perhaps I could postpone this, not retire. To be and not to be… to retire yet to continue working in the Southland.
I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.

Call for Applications: APA Medical Student Senior Elective in HIV Psychiatry
The American Psychiatric Association established the Medical Student Senior Elective in HIV
Psychiatry in 2004 to provide an opportunity for 4th
year minority medical students to
participate in a one-month clinical or research elective in HIV psychiatry.
With improvements in HIV drug therapy there is a burgeoning demand to treat the mental
health needs of those living longer with the disease. People with HIV have a higher incidence of
mental health problems than the general population and people with serious mental illness are
more at risk for contracting HIV. HIV attacks the brain, causing inflammation and tissue
deterioration. Infection of the brain also can lead to clinical depression, mild or moderate
thinking problems, and trouble with memory and focus. Unfortunately, the mental health
needs of people living with HIV/AIDS are too often overlooked.
Undoubtedly, future physicians need to develop a working knowledge of HIV-related psychiatric
and neuropsychiatric issues. The purpose of the Medical Student Elective in HIV Psychiatry is to
foster the participation of racial and ethnic minority medical students in HIV-related care and
research and provide them with a means of obtaining essential HIV-related mental health
training through an integrated approach to patient care.
Description of the Project
This September the Elective in HIV Psychiatry begins with intensive two-day training
in Washington, DC. Topics range from neuropsychiatric complications of HIV, somatic
complaints, and mood disorders to special patient populations including people with substance
use disorders and/or those suffering from severe mental illnesses. Training modalities include a
combination of lectures, role playing, case vignettes, and first-person accounts through
interviews with HIV positive people. Students then travel to training sites for their clinical or
research experience for the month of September.
To date, seventy-one students have completed the full month-long elective. Prior sites have
included: Cambridge Health Alliance/Zinberg Clinic; The New York Presbyterian Hospital at
Columbia University; The New York-Presbyterian Hospital Cornell University Center for Special
Studies (CSS); Emory University/Grady Infectious Disease Program; Howard
University; University of Pittsburgh Medical Center; University of Cincinnati; University of
Miami, Stanford University, Beth Israel Medical Center, Vanderbilt University, and
the University of South Florida (for a research elective in HIV Neuroimmunology in
Psychiatry.) Tentative dates for the elective are August 23 to September 20.
Apply Now The application deadline is March 31, 2014 with selections to be announced in late
April. The application is posted online at:
www.psychiatry.org/practice/professional-interests/hiv-psychiatry/training-and-
education/Medical-Student-Elective-In-HIV
Additional information can be obtained from Diane Pennessi by phone at (703) 907-8668 or e-
mail to [email protected].
National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program accepting applications
The NHSC program supports qualified health care providers, including psychiatrists, in exchange
for two-years of service in specific Health Professional Shortage Areas. The NHSC program is
currently accepting applications for FY2014 Loan Repayment Program awards. This program is
open to licensed primary care medical, dental, and mental and behavioral health providers who
are employed or are seeking employment at approved sites.
Integrated Care and Psychiatry
In the changing health care environment, one clear trend is greater integration of primary care
and behavioral health care. APA has compiled extensive resources to help psychiatrists
understand and stay abreast of the issues. Go here to see the latest research, news, analysis,
policy, collaborative care models, and more, including short videos from leaders in the field and
a Toolkit of practice resources.
APA Announces Medicare Reimbursement Victory on Psychiatry Work Values
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has accepted work values for a number
of psychiatric codes (90791/92 and the 908XX codes) that will result in increased Medicare
payment for psychiatrists using those codes. The work values, which are recommended by the
AMA’s Relative Value Update Committee, are part of a complex payment formula that includes
practice expense and other variables to derive a fee for every code used by physicians. Go here
to learn more!
APF Seeks Applications for Advancing Minority Mental Health Awards
The American Psychiatric Foundation is accepting applications for its 2014 awards for
advancing minority mental health. This annual award recognizes mental health professionals,
programs, and organizations that have undertaken innovative efforts to raise awareness of
mental illness in underserved minority communities, increase access to mental health care for
underserved minorities, and/or improve the quality of care for underserved minorities.
application deadline is February 12.
North Carolina DB Helps Develop Tool Kit to Help Physicians Thrive in ACOs
The North Carolina Psychiatric Association and more than 40 other state and county medical
specialty societies has developed the “Physician’s Accountable Care Tool Kit,” which includes a
section specifically for psychiatrists. Psychiatrists have the skills and experience that position
them for success in ACOs, and it is vital for them to step up with like-minded physicians to lead
in what can be a career-changing transformation. To read the article, click here.
Paper and online election ballots for APA’s 2014 election were sent to all

Dear APA Member,
We are writing to let you know that draft APA practice guidelines on the psychiatric evaluation of adults are now available for review by all APA members. Downloadable PDF versions of the drafts are available on the APA website at www.psychiatry.org/practice/clinical-practice-guidelines/review-draft-guidelines. The deadline to comment is February 5

The guidelines address the following topics, in the context of an initial psychiatric evaluation: assessment of suicide risk, assessment of risk of aggressive behaviors, cultural assessment, assessment of substance use, review of psychiatric symptoms and treatment history, assessment of medical health, involving the patient in treatment decision-making, documentation, and use of quantitative measures. Thank you in advance for facilitating review of these guidelines by members of your District Branch, either by forwarding this message or by making a personalized announcement. After this general review is completed, the guidelines will be submitted to the APA Assembly and Board of Trustees for final approval and publication.

More than just medical professional liability insurance.
Call me for a quote.Medical professional liability policies can
vary widely from one company to the next.
It is important for psychiatrists to know
the full – and accurate – story on a policy.
Whether it is reviewing the difference
between occurrence and claims-made
policies or explaining how another policy
might leave the doctor with an uninsured
risk, I have done my job when I help
psychiatrists evaluate their options to
make the right choice.

For Diplomates Certified or Recertified in 2012 or Later Continuous Pathway to Lifelong Learning Program (CP-MOC) * Read Announcement to Diplomates Letter about the new program. * Download CP-MOC FAQ. * Download Continuous Certification Approach. Beginning in 2012, diplomates will enter the Continuous Pathway to Lifelong Learning. Diplomates prior to 2012 may elect to participate. Instead of paying a single fee at the time of the MOC exam, you will pay an annual fee that covers participation in the ABPN Physician Folio and the “cognitive examination” (AKA recertification exam) at the end of the 10 year period (the annual fee does not cover any modules). You will open an “ABPN Physician Folio” on the ABPN website where you will log your activities and keep track of your status and progress in MOC. There will be 3 stages, with 3 years/stage. Passing subspecialty board certification can take the place of the requirements for one stage beginning 2012. CME, SA, and PIP activities can count towards multiple certificates if the diplomate has multiple ABPN certifications. (Other specialty boards may have different rules governing “double dipping,” consult your other Board’s MOC to be sure.) Diplomates in child and adolescent psychiatry do not need to maintain certification in general psychiatry to maintain certification in child, but all other subspecialties must maintain their general psychiatry certification to remain eligible for their subspecialty certification. There will be 4 components:
Professional standing (maintenance of an unrestricted license, continuously)
Self-assessment and CME * (avg. 8 hours of CME/year/stage involving SA; average 30 hours/year of CME relevant to the specialty of certification)
Cognitive expertise (board recertification exam)
Performance in practice* (1 practice improvement activity every 3 years, including chart review and patient/peer external review; may take up to 24 months to complete!)

If not noted as “self-entered”, APA CME and MOC activities will NOT be audited by ABPN.
