Dear Fellow Alumni:
Welcome to the latest issue of Alumni News. Since our last newsletter, the hospital has implemented
a major strategic planning effort, developed under the leadership of McLean President and
Psychiatrist in Chief Scott Rauch, MD. As you will read, one of the plan's objectives is to transform
the organization through leadership development and education. We are excited to report that alumnus
Shelly F. Greenfield, MD, MPH, has been appointed to a key position within the plan—that of chief
academic officer for McLean. Dr. Greenfield has been actively involved in the recruitment and promotion
process. Her leadership in the hospital’s educational mission will have great impact on our residency and
we look forward to her involvement.
The hospital is buzzing with activity as progress is made on all fronts to improve the lives of our patients
and their families. Some of these initiatives are highlighted within. We hope you find this newsletter
useful in connecting you to McLean and each other. We look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes,

Strategic plan
ready to support the future
m c l e a n . h a r v a r d . e d u
Ranked first among the nation’s freestanding psychiatric hospitals...U.S. News & World Report
Issue 005 • 2010
McLean’s strategic plan centers on an integrated clinical-research-education (CRE) enterprise
dedicated to and geared for translating science into the highest quality care. The plan, adopted
in November 2008, also calls for selective growth of McLean services and for piloting fundamentally
new approaches to the delivery and financing of care, according to Scott Rauch, MD, president and
psychiatrist in chief for McLean.
The plan is organized into six focus areas and identifies a number of work initiatives in which McLean
will invest its time and resources over the coming years. The six areas of focus are:
n Transform the organization.
n Strengthen infrastructure and operations.
n Extend McLean’s services.
n Develop an integrated clinical-research-education enterprise.
n Innovate the care and business model.
n Develop financial resources to fund the future.
McLean has instituted a new leadership structure for the integrated CRE composed of a chief medical
officer (CMO), chief academic officer (CAO) and chief scientific officer (CSO), all of whom report to
Rauch. Joining CMO Joseph Gold, MD, in this leadership structure is Shelly F. Greenfield, MD, MPH,
who recently was named CAO (see page 3). Recruitment of a CSO is forthcoming.

McLean launches new
clinical programs in 2009
In keeping with McLean's strategic goal of extending its services,
the hospital opened or expanded a number of clinical programs on
and off its Belmont campus in 2009.
The Gunderson Residence: The Gunderson
Residence is a nine-bed, self-pay residence for
women with borderline personality disorders.
Located in Cambridge, Mass., it integrates
evidence-based, research-proven practices of
mentalization-based therapy and other skillsbased
approaches, such as cognitive behavior
therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and
psychoeducation. Call 888.657.5699 or e-mail
gundersonres@mclean.harvard.edu.
Under this new model, the hospital’s research, clinical and
educational activities have begun to be integrated into
programmatically based divisions. Divisional structures will enable
McLean to facilitate enhanced collaboration between clinicians
and researchers
with an emphasis
on evidence-based
practice and practicebased
evidence; thus,
improving patient care.
The first divisions were
launched in early 2009:
the Division of Alcohol
and Drug Abuse, led
by Roger Weiss, MD,
and the Division of
Psychotic Disorders,
led by Dost Öngür,
MD, PhD. Additional
divisions will be rolled
out over time.
The Gunderson Residence
Expanded 3East: This intensive residential
program for young women exhibiting self-endangering behaviors
and emerging borderline personality disorder traits now offers
complementary step-down and day services. The new step-down
unit, with five beds, offers longer-term residential care to patients
who have completed or are “stepping down” from the intensive
program. A new co-educational day program operates daily from
9 am to 3 pm in four-week cycles Call 877.967.7233 or e-mail
3East@mclean.harvard.edu.
2 Alumni News
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Service: Primarily
reserved for people who have not responded to one antidepressant
medication, TMS is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure. Patients
receive TMS five days a week for four to six weeks.
No anesthesia is used and there is no cognitive loss.
Side effects are mild and may include headache
or scalp discomfort. Though FDA-approved, TMS
is considered a new procedure and, therefore, is
not yet universally reimbursed by insurers. Call
617.855.2355 or e-mail tmsmclean@partners.org.
Orchard House: This insurance-based residential
treatment program, with eight beds, opened in the
fall of 2009 to individuals with anxiety disorder and
depression. The program also serves as added
capacity for the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Institute. Call
617.855.3371 or e-mail tjamiol@ocd.mclean.org.
Just opened: The McLean Residence at the Brook opened in January
2010 as an eight-bed, long-term residential program for individuals
with substance abuse. This self-pay program is located at the corner
of Trapelo Road and Waverley Oaks Road in Waltham; its average
length of stay is three to six months. Call 888.515.9699. ♦
Strategic plan ready to support the future
continued from page 1
McLean Chairman David Barlow was among hundreds from the hospital community
to sign a ceremonial banner celebrating the announcement of the strategic plan in
November 2008. The banner now resides in the McLean cafeteria.
McLean hired Catharyn Gildesgame, MBA, as director of Strategic
Implementation. The former corporate director of Partners
HealthCare’s Clinical Research Office, Gildesgame has more than
27 years of experience in the health-care industry and brings sharp
business acumen and proven leadership to this
new position. She is working closely with the
McLean Board of Trustees, President’s Cabinet
and staff to implement the plan.
“Our profound commitment to our mission
compels us to stretch ourselves in order to
make the greatest possible impact toward
improving the lives of those with psychiatric
illness,” said Rauch. “As a team, we will lead
the field through excellence and innovation.”
Rauch welcomes comments and questions
about the strategic plan and invites staff
to forward their input to him through
the strategic planning mailbox at
MCLStrategicPlanning@partners.org. ♦

A conversation with chief academic officer
Shelly F. Greenfield, MD, MPH
Key role established under strategic plan
Why appoint a chief academic officer (CAO)?
McLean’s academic mission engages all areas of the hospital through
multiple facets. The CAO is responsible for overseeing this mission,
including educating staff, faculty, trainees and the public, and
advancing the hospital’s scholarly activities. McLean has always had
a strong academic mission. We have more than 400 trainees and 375
faculty; yet, there has never been a designated person overseeing
the academic enterprise. Given the size and diversity of our academic
staff, it became critical to McLean’s future that someone provide
oversight to the growth, development and nurturing of that mission.
What are your goals as CAO?
One goal is to continue to attract and educate the most promising
students and trainees for careers as clinicians and researchers
in psychiatry and neuroscience and provide opportunities for
professional development. We also want to encourage research
and scholarly activities to enhance our understanding of the causes,
mechanisms, treatment and prevention of psychiatric illness and its
relevant social interactions. Clinical work is also a large part of our
academic mission, including integrating evidence-based practice and
practice-based evidence to provide our patients with the very best
psychiatric care.
What are some initiatives the CAO’s office will implement?
We plan to offer more professional development and mentoring
programs for faculty and staff. We will also enhance our grand
rounds, special lectures and other continuing medical education
opportunities. Fostering communication among researchers and
clinicians is also critical. A McLean Research Day and special
seminars will bring together clinicians and researchers to focus
on cutting-edge issues related to psychiatric disease. Improved
technology, including teleconferencing, digital-taping capabilities
and a robust McLean Intranet site, will improve communication and
training opportunities.
Can you expound upon your plans to offer professional development
and mentoring?
We plan to develop materials for mentoring and training faculty and
staff. We will also initiate annual promotion workshops for instructors,
assistant professors and associate professors. Additionally, we want
to enhance career opportunities for Nursing and Social Work staff,
which includes nurturing and developing researchers within the two
disciplines and encouraging research readiness among staff. Leaders
from these departments already have formed a research committee
to provide enhanced opportunities.
Shelly F. Greenfield, MD, MPH
What do you hope to achieve in your role as CAO?
I hope to broaden and deepen the core academic values at McLean,
where we have always been committed to bringing together cuttingedge
research, clinical care and teaching. My work has focused on
developing treatments for patients with substance use disorders
with emphasis on vulnerable populations, such as women and
patients with co-occurring psychiatric disorders. As someone who
has worked to integrate insights from research and translate them
to patient care, I am committed to fostering a strong academic
community that facilitates enhanced collaboration in outcomesoriented
patient care, basic and translational research and education.
Why do you think the CAO office is an asset to McLean?
It is important to have a major administrative presence charged
with focusing on McLean’s core academic values, mission and
professional development of our community. I believe the Office of the
CAO will enhance the quality of the work we conduct for patients and
the greater community.

The Massachusetts General Hospital
(MGH)/McLean Hospital Adult
Psychiatry Residency Training Program
continues to thrive with progress being
made in many areas.
Training center established
Under the leadership of McLean President and Psychiatrist in Chief
Scott Rauch, MD, a new Residency Training Center has been created
on the second floor of the de Marneffe building. This spacious suite
houses offices for McLean’s administrative chief resident, training
director, associate training director and training coordinator; a
computer room with four desktops; and a break room with refrigerator
and microwave.
The center features dedicated space for video conferencing, one
of the most exciting developments in the residency program with
significant potential for training. The technology allows residents
and directors from McLean, Massachusetts General Hospital and
Newton-Wellesley Hospital to connect, confer, brainstorm and
provide supervision from our respective workplaces.
Recruitment nets vast response
The 2009 recruitment yielded more than 800 applications—one of
the largest responses ever to fill 16 positions. Of those with multiple
degrees, three of our new residents have MBAs, one has a PhD and
one has an MPH.
Leadership
An update on adult residency training
Kathy M. Sanders, MD, director • ksanders@partners.org
Residency alumnus Stephen Seiner, MD, PhD, Class of 1999, has
completed two years as associate residency training director. Dr.
Seiner, director of the Psychiatric Neurotherapeutics Program (ECT,
TMS) at McLean, works closely with me in developing the weekly
didactic seminar series and in monitoring and refining McLean
clinical rotations. He also has designed a new didactic curriculum
for first-year post-graduates (PGY-1s). At least half of the PGY-1 class
comes together on Thursday afternoons for three hours of didactics.
John Denninger, MD, PhD, Class of 2004, director of research for
the Henry Benson Institute of Mind Body Medicine at MGH, has
completed one year as associate training director. He is working with
me on several important initiatives: the development of a HUB-Wiki
for residency communication, the creation of a public-sector inpatient
rotation and the implementation of a newly developed research
concentration, enabling select residents to enjoy protected research
time while participating in rigorous clinical training.

Expanding the curriculum
We are continuing to enhance our curriculum. One of the largest
improvements is that PGY-1s are now rotating on MGH’s inpatient
unit (Blake 11) with PGY-2s. In July 2010, the structure will be based
on a medical team approach to care. This approach will have interns,
residents and chief residents participating in patient care. This
change will broaden our PGY-2 curriculum, creating more flexibility
for individual clinical and academic interests and facilitating access
to training opportunities within the various levels of care offered to
patients at McLean. Additionally, the PGY-4 Wednesday didactics
have been rescheduled from afternoons to mornings, enabling PGY-4s
to join the PGY-2 and PGY-3 didactics as teaching assistants. This
continuing effort to enhance the curriculum brings a great opportunity
for PGY-4s to teach junior residents.
IS improvements
With the successful transition to Partners computer stations
throughout McLean, we now have ready access to communication
among faculty at both campuses through centralized e-mail and an
electronic directory of faculty and staff throughout Partners. We are
increasingly incorporating electronic medical records at both the
McLean and MGH campuses and anticipate further improvements to
streamline patient care and paperwork.
Handbook by and for residents
A particular accomplishment within the program this past year has
been the publication of the MGH/McLean Residency Handbook
of Psychiatry (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins). This user-friendly
handbook was two years in the making under the committed
leadership of Sherry Nykiel, MD, and Niels Rosenquist, MD, Class of
2009. It is filled with pertinent information on situations psychiatry
residents encounter while on-call or on rotation. Drs. Nykiel and
Rosenquist created this project to involve as many residents as
possible. Additionally, more than 20 MGH and McLean faculty
members were involved in reviewing the material before publication.
We hope the handbook will be a great resource within our residency
and across the country, and that future editions will provide continued
academic opportunities. ♦
