Theresa Miskimen's appointment takes effect May 2025.
Embedding psychiatrists at primary care practices and expanding telemedicine could give more people access to mental health services, said Theresa Miskimen, a Rutgers clinical psychiatry professor who was recently named president-elect of the American Psychiatric Association.
The American Psychiatric Association, medical schools, and health systems must work together to find new ways to get patients the care they need, said Miskimen, who also works as medical director of the psychiatry department at Hunterdon Medical Center in Flemington, N.J. Patients wouldn’t have to wait to find an outside psychiatrist. And psychiatrists could manage more cases, because they could work with the patients’ family doctor to quickly get up to speed on their medical background.Expanding telemedicine is “critical” to improving access, Miskimen said. Psychiatrists have found that many patients are more likely to make and keep appointments that can be done from home.
