Professional Society Activities:

 

I have volunteered for activities in many professional societies. 

 

I was on the Board of Directors (1982 - 1985) and was elected President of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (1985 - 1987); President of the Gerontologic Society of Florida (1989 -1990); Treasurer of the International PsychoGeriatric Association (1989 - 1993) and elected to their Board of Directors (1993 - 1997).

 

I am currently a member of the Task Force on Testamentary Capacity and Undue Influence, for the International PsychoGeriatric Association (2007 – present). 

 

I teach classes to other psychiatrists, to help them improve the care given to the elderly with emotional and mental disorders.

 

I was a Member of the Board of Directors of the Geriatric Psychiatry Alliance (1996 - 1998), which helped to promote public information about mental disorders which affect older people.

 

I have been a Member of, and Consultant to, the American Psychiatric Association Council on Aging (1984 - 1993), Vice-President of the South Florida Psychiatric Society (1988 - 1989), and a Member of the Board of Directors and Co-Chair of the Medical and Scientific Advisory Board for the Dade County Alzheimer's Association (1988 - 1995).

 

I continue to be involved in many activities, committees and projects for professional societies.
