SPOTLIGHTS
FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: Jed Mangal, MD
Jed Mangal serves as Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine with a Secondary Appointment in Psychiatry, balancing clinical duties on the Medicine-Psychiatry Unit and the Internal Medicine Wards at Grady Memorial Hospital with teaching roles (he enjoys both UME and GME). He also contributes to several committees at Grady, including the Ethics Consultation Committee, Restraints Committee and Emory @ Grady Faculty Development Champions.
Jed’s outside of Emory responsibilities extends to service in the US Army Reserve (his current attachment bridges tactical operations and mental health force protection) and roles as a volunteer medical expert witness for the Medical Justice Alliance and a volunteer physician reviewer for Physicians for Human Rights. He is also actively involved with the Association of Medicine and Psychiatry, serving on the Executive Council, and acting as liaison from Early Career Physicians to Resident-Fellow Members.
Jed places a high value on a fun and collaborative team atmosphere, where the enjoyment of working together is as important as the serious business of providing safe and effective patient care, especially where it leads to the vibrant exchange of ideas with others. At Emory there is joy in engaging with students and colleagues as we challenge each other's thinking and refine our ideas, which often leads to deeper understanding and more innovative solutions in both medicine and psychiatry.
Highlights of Jed’s career trajectory includes transitioning from active-duty military service, where he held leadership roles in various administrative and clinical capacities, to academic medicine where he hopes to keep the same trajectory.
Jed’s future aspirations are to further develop educational activities that demonstrate the applications of psychiatric and behavioral concepts in primary care settings, enhance understanding of metacognition in clinical reasoning and effectively apply social learning theories within our current educational environment. These goals aim to improve both the educational experiences of healthcare professionals and the care provided to patients.
Outside of work, Jed enjoys running 5Ks, often with his kids in a stroller (they don’t win often…or ever), mixing and imbibing craft cocktails and playing golf badly—a great exercise in humility that approximates that needed clinical practice.
ADJUNCT FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: Kim Dobson-Callahan, MD
Kim Dobson-Callahan graduated from University at Buffalo School of Medicine, and then spent residency training in a combination of pediatrics, adult psychiatry and child psychiatry. After residency she spent much of her professional life working with displaced youth: children in foster care, residential, detention settings or inpatient psychiatry faculty as a member of the same university.
Kim moved to Atlanta 10 years ago and started a private practice before joining Emory adjunct faculty in 2015. Here in Atlanta, she continues an almost exclusive child and adolescent psychiatry practice in various outpatient settings. Providing service at Georgia State University, Project Family of Georgia, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Newport Academy and Mindset Psychology.
As adjunct faculty for both Emory and Morehouse, Kim supervises child and adolescent psychiatry fellows at Georgia State University, provides didactic training and seminars in ethics. She has also been a member of the Emory adjunct faculty workgroup for the past three years. As adjunct faculty she endeavors to provide a calm clinical environment that encourages reflection and professional development in preparation for a well-rounded medical practice after training. Child psychiatrists often find themselves working in a variety of clinical settings. A confident grounding in what your profession is, and is not, will serve as a guide when the work inevitably becomes challenging and competing influences present themselves. Kim considers work with trainees a privilege and a constant source of inspiration for her own professional growth.
Something people may be surprised to know about Kim: she loves teaching mindfulness based stress reduction and incorporating mindfulness in clinical practice and teaching strategies.
STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Shaun Lewis
Shaun Lewis lead the Veteran Outreach Team for the Emory Healthcare Veterans program. The team is comprised of five Veteran Outreach Coordinators who hold over 70 years combined military experience. They use their military cultural competency to conduct nationwide outreach, focusing on Veteran service organizations, military installations, federal and state Veterans Affairs, healthcare providers and Veteran influencers. They also serve as liaisons between Veterans and clinical staff, lead weekend outings for our patients and assist in enhanced case management in order to take down barriers to care.
Outside of Emory, Shaun is an Engineer Officer in the Army Reserve, where he recently completed a 10-month deployment to Kuwait as a construction project manager. He has also volunteered as a Program Coordinator for Canine Cellmates since 2017, where he works with incarcerated men to help prepare them for life beyond bars.
Shaun enjoys working with a world-class team of professionals dedicated to serving Veterans in need. He enjoys meeting new people and building the Veteran community in the Atlanta metro area and beyond. He also enjoys a job making a difference in people’s lives.
In Shaun’s career trajectory, he has held a lot of roles, from soldier, to elementary school teacher, to outreach manager and the one constant has always been Service. He is passionate about doing work that matters, and helping individuals maximize their potential.
Looking to the future, Shaun wants to make the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program a widely recognized name in the Veteran and Military community. He also wants to shift the paradigm from viewing those who seek mental health treatment as weak, to viewing it as a tool to help Veterans achieve the lives they want to lead and strengthen the resiliency of active-duty service members so they can stay in the fight. He also wants to start a cooking YouTube channel.
Away from work, Shaun enjoys cooking and eating, winning contests in both categories. The most recent was the 2018 KARA SE USA Hansik Cooking Contest where he won first prize - a free, all-expenses-paid trip to South Korea.
TRAINEE SPOTLIGHT: Danny Mulligan, MA
Danny is an Emory School of Medicine pre-doctoral psychology intern working within the Grady Health System. Currently, he is on the Adult Rotation, providing services for the Nia Project, Crisis Intervention Service, Inpatient Psychiatric Service and Integrated Behavioral Health Service. On Nia, Danny provides group psychotherapy and supportive services for clients experiencing suicidality and/or a history of intimate partner violence. On the Crisis Intervention and Inpatient units, Danny has been leading music therapy groups to promote stress reduction, adaptive emotion expression and a sense of community. In other roles, Danny provides assessments, individual therapy, and couple's therapy. He's also written blog posts on social justice topics for Psychology today as a member of the Atlanta Behavioral Health Advocates.
Outside of Emory, Danny is preparing to defend his dissertation and graduate from Wayne State University's Clinical Psychology PhD program. He is interested in applying social theory to research on the social determinants of health in order to understand how various forms of social inequality in America produce physical and mental health problems and disparities. His dissertation critiques the concept of socioeconomic status and seeks to gather evidence of construct validity for separate measures of neo-Marxist social class, multi-dimensional social status and economic assets as predictors of health and well-being in a representative sample of prime working age U.S. adults.
Danny most enjoys providing psychotherapy for people experiencing trauma-related distress. He especially values the process of cultivating a therapeutic alliance and holding relationship that allows patients to express emotions, ideas and parts of themselves that have been disavowed through adverse experiences and recurring invalidating relationships and/or environments. He believes it is a privilege to witness the existential courage of the human spirit voluntarily moving through suffering in order to heal, grow, reintegrate disavowed parts of the self and move towards psychic wholeness and a more meaningful life.
Some of the key external achievements that have been highlights in Danny's career thus far have been publishing his first journal article, receiving the WSU Social Determinants of Health Research Stimulus award and being matched at Emory's doctoral internship. The more important highlights, which have made the stress and long hours worth it, have been witnessing clients transforming their lives for the better and special moments of connection with cohort mates, clients and supervisors.
In August, Danny will begin a postdoctoral fellowship at UConn Health in the Family Adversity and Resilience Research Program. He's excited to churn out manuscripts, help manage research studies and provide therapy in the Fathers for Change program, which takes a restorative, attachment-based and intergenerational trauma-informed approach to reducing male perpetration of intimate partner violence and child maltreatment. Eventually, he hopes to do research, teaching, therapy, writing for the public and activism in service of community-led movements for the emancipation of human and non-human animals from suffering and domination.
Danny's greatest passion outside the workplace is music, whether playing, writing or listening to music. Currently, he likes to relax by improvising on guitar and piano and practicing cover songs for an open mic set. He also enjoys hiking and hanging out at Bantam Pub with his cohort of Emory psychology interns. With his partner, he likes to go on long walks, check out new restaurants, read, watch Netflix and play with their two princely cats, Gremi Amadeus and Octavius Booky.
PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT: Mental Health Intensive Case Management and Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Recovery Center Program
The Atlanta VA Health Care System provides high-intensity mental health care for Veterans with severe mental illness (SMI), such as bipolar disorders or psychotic disorders. Two programs that focus specifically on the needs of this vulnerable patient population are Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Recovery Center (PRRC) and Mental Health Intensive Case Management (MHICM). PRRC is an intensive outpatient program designed to support Veterans’ recovery and integration into meaningful, self-determined roles in the community. Based on an Assertive Community Treatment model, MHICM serves Veterans with SMI who are high utilizers of inpatient psychiatric care and who need active case management to maintain stability in the community.
These programs are mandated by VHA Directives based on the number of Veterans served with SMI as determined by the National Psychosis Registry. Compared to other VA health care systems nationwide, Atlanta has one of the highest numbers of established patients with SMI, representing a large target population who could benefit from the services provided by MHICM and PRRC. These programs are built on the principles of recovery-oriented care, specifically the importance of person-centered planning, self-direction, peer support and services that recognize the non-linear nature of living with SMI.
Although Veterans with SMI are served throughout the continuum of inpatient, outpatient and residential services at the Atlanta VA, MHICM and PRRC are unique in their focus on community integration as a tenet of recovery-oriented care. These programs aim to provide services for Veterans within their communities and in ways that help them to develop skills to maximize their functioning, establish or strengthen natural supports and hopefully reduce periods of symptom exacerbation.
Interdisciplinary treatment teams work with relatively small caseloads to help Veterans meet their self-identified goals for recovery. MHICM treatment teams consist of Psychiatrists and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, Social Workers, Registered Nurses and Certified Peer Specialists. PRRC treatment teams consist of Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Recreation Therapists and Certified Peer Specialists. Both teams have Program Support Assistants who are responsible for many of the administrative functions that keep these teams running smoothly.
Given the nature of the population served, the vast majority of MHICM and PRRC patients are treated by Psychiatrists, many of whom are on faculty with Emory. The programs also provide bridge services for Veterans while they are on the inpatient psychiatry unit to facilitate care continuity, which allows for care coordination with Emory faculty and residents. These programs would welcome opportunities to provide more information to colleagues and explore opportunities for collaboration.
Because of the emphasis on providing care to Veterans that supports their community integration, these programs do not operate solely within the physical locations of the VA. Although program staff are stationed at several VA clinics throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area, employees of MHICM and PRRC also provide services in the community. For instance, PRRC regularly takes Veterans on recreational outings, sponsors Veterans’ participation in the artistic and athletic competitions and has local artists provide lessons for Veterans. MHICM staff also serve Veterans in the community, including frequent home visits and other contacts to provide services that can be intensified as needed to support Veterans’ stability without use of inpatient hospitalizations.
Monique Hunter, PhD, ABPP, is the Section Chief of Mental Health Rehabilitation Programs at the Atlanta VA Health Care System, which includes MHICM, PRRC and other programs serving Veterans with significant psychosocial needs. She can be reached via email. April Shavkin, LCSW, is Program Director for MHICM, and Gerrilyn Levy, LCSW, is Program Director for PRRC.
