STRONGER TOGETHER for Better Care

“ How do you create community to enhance collaboration in your profession?”

I prioritize communication along with setting a good example of offering help and support. I listen and ask questions when talking with peers including professional and personal conversations.
Partnerships are our secret sauce! We cultivate a two-way relationship with our referring docs and work as a team – this enhances camaraderie and is a win-win for all, especially the patients!

I believe strong collaboration is a vital key to provide very effective mental health treatment. In psychiatry, one must put all puzzle pieces together to complete the picture and to provide the best.
Principle of charity, assume the most generous interpretation of what my colleague says or does. Also appeal to academic spirit of curiosity:“ Can you help me with this cool case?”
