June 2024 Committee Report  

The Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Committee is led by chair Dr. Cristina Montalvo (Chief of Consultation-Liaison & Emergency Services, Tufts Medicine) with trainee co-chairs Dr. Katie Crist (psychiatry resident, Boston University Medical Center) and Dr. Elliott Baker (psychiatry resident, Tufts Medicine).  The committee resumed quarterly meetings in 2023 & 2024 with topics including management of OUD in outpatient and inpatient settings, incorporating Global Mental Health and Cultural Psychiatry into career practice, and psychiatric practice in the critical care setting. We have continued to collaborate with Massachusetts Psychiatric Society Committees (Alcoholism and the Addictions) and other fields of medicine (global health, pharmacy) through these quarterly meetings. We look forward to continued collaboration with various committees to host thoughtful and exciting meetings. For the summer and fall of 2024, we plan to host 1-2 more meetings including applying to the C-L fellowship & careers within the field of C-L.
