Another residency year is coming to a close for
the Penn Psychiatry residents. The exceptional
PGY-4 class is preparing to head out as newlyminted
psychiatrists, with several going directly
into clinical work, while others are pursuing
research or clinical fellowships. Lori Goldstein,MD

Disorders and Margot O’Donnell, MD will join

ulty on the inpatient teaching service at Pennsylvania Hospital. Josh Blume, MD, Susan
Rushing, MD, JD, and Ted Satterthwaite, MD will all be continuing work begun in the Clinical
Research Scholars Program, with Dr. Blume in the lab of Dwight Evans, MD, Dr. Rushing
through Penn’s Forensic Psychiatry fellowship, and Dr. Satterthwaite as a Neuropsychiatry
fellow. Two class members are venturing away from Philadelphia to do clinical fellowships. Julie
Chilton, MD is going to the Yale Child Study Center for a Child Psychiatry fellowship and, lastly,
Alex Threlfall, MD will be moving to California to complete a clinical fellowship in Geriatric Psychiatry
at the University of California, San Francisco.
The residents continue to garner accolades for the excellence of their clinical, educational, and research
efforts. In just the past six months, Scott Campbell, MD was selected for the American Association of
Directors of Residency Training (AADPRT)/Ginsberg Fellowship for accomplishments in education
and teaching, while Matthew Kayser, MD, PhD and Donovan Maust, MD were selected as American
Psychiatric Institute for Research and Education (APIRE) Janssen Resident Psychiatric Research Scholars,
and Laurie Gray, MD was awarded the American Psychiatric Association (APA)/Shire Child &
Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship. Drs. Satterthwaite and Blume received APIRE Junior Investigator
Colloquium Travel Grants to support attendance at the APA Annual Meeting, and Dr. Satterthwaite
also received the APA/Lilly Research Fellowship which provides fellowship salary support. Lastly,
the Penn Mind Games team (Dr. Blume, Eleanor Ainslie, MD, and Dr. Gray) placed first at the recent
Philadelphia Psychiatric Society meeting in April.
The new chief residents are getting acclimated to their new responsibilities. Lauren Elliott, MD is the
outpatient chief and has mapped out the upcoming year for residents in the Outpatient Center, where
the rising PGY-3 residents will be joined by the three Peds Portal residents (Alice Li, MD, Aita Susi,
MD, and Nancy Warden, MD). Dr. Maust and Christopher Tjoa, MD are the inpatient chiefs for Pennsylvania
Hospital and HUP/VA, respectively, and are busily completing the rotation and call schedules
for the upcoming year. We would like to express our appreciation on behalf of all the residents
for the wonderful job that the outgoing chiefs – Drs. Campbell, O’Donnell, and Threlfall – did. As we
begin our new roles, we are aware of the large shoes they have left for us to fill, but are confident the
residency and residents will continue to thrive. �
