Trainees of the Month

Each month, the department of psychiatry recognizes a resident or fellow who has demonstrated excellence in patient care, academics, or community involvement. This recognition highlights the individual’s dedication to advancing psychiatry through compassionate care, research, and community outreach, setting a high standard for their peers.

Thomas Kuehn, DO

Dr. Kuehn demonstrated exceptional diligence on the consult service by ensuring a patient was able to receive a time-sensitive course of treatment. The patient required consent from a legal guardian, necessitating coordination with an external agency to secure emergency authorization prior to each session. The trainee devoted considerable time and effort, making numerous calls and sending repeated communications, to ensure that consent was obtained and care could proceed without delay. His persistence and attention to detail contributed meaningfully to a culture of excellent patient care and compassionate treatment.
