BETH GRUNSCHEL, MD, ScM
I
am a Yale-trained Psychiatrist double-boarded in Adult and Addiction
Psychiatry as well as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Yale School
of Medicine. Prior to attending Jefferson Medical School, I received
an ScB and then ScM in Biomedical Engineering from Brown University.
Notable clinical background includes work at Yale Student Mental
Health, providing psychiatric care to undergraduate and graduate
students. While there, I served as the Coordinator for Substance Use
Treatment, providing outreach and intervention for students
identified with needs for substance use treatment. Additionally, I
have worked at Connecticut Mental Health Center, a state mental
health facility, as well as having spent about a decade caring for
Veterans in the VA-Connecticut Healthcare System.
While
serving as Chief Resident of Education during Yale Psychiatry
Residency, and while employed as Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale
School of Medicine (YSM) and Yale School of Nursing, I served in
several leadership and educator positions. Notably, as Co-chair of
the Pain Curriculum Committee at YSM, I collaborated with specialists
from primary care, neurology, anesthesiology, health psychology, etc.
to develop strong medical education in biopsychosocial approaches to
the management of chronic pain. I have taken great pleasure in
supervising medical students and psychiatric residents in developing
their clinical skills, guiding the development of their bedside
manner, interviewing techniques and approach. I continue to supervise
psychodynamic psychotherapy in the Psychiatry Residency at Yale.
