I appreciate being nominated to run for the position of President Elect. The Academy has been my professional home since I became a member in 1977 and I have participated actively in a number of Academy initiatives and projects (as summarized in the accompanying box). I strongly believe that our organization should remain lean, accessible to members at all levels, diverse, and highly personal. All child psychiatrists, from those in private practice to full time academics, are affected by changing CPT codes and payers’ responses to them, the DSM-5, the impact of the Affordable Care Act as it rolls out, the requirements of the electronic medical record, and other rapidly evolving “nuts and bolts” issues. I believe the Academy should be at the leading edge regarding these issues, pooling our members’ vast collective experience and our clinical wisdom to influence their evolution at every juncture.

Several other basic principles will shape my leadership should I be elected: 1.) I believe we must continue to resist efforts to define us solely as psycho- pharmacologists and never relinquish our equally

important roles as diagnosticians, patient and family psychotherapists, and child advocates. 2.) I believe that our research base is inadequate to guide our practice. We do not have any biomarkers for psychiatric disorders,

the dramatic advances in genetics and neuroimaging do not yet have general clinical applicability, and our playbook of evidence-based treatments in too thin. Advancing a child mental health research agenda must be a high priority.

3.) I believe our profession is threatened by our small numbers’ being unable to meet the growing need for our services. The solution must be multifaceted and include intensified efforts to grow the workforce, leadership in developing alternative methods of care (such as telepsychiatry, integrated mental health and primary care, and creative consultation arrangements) and alternative training portals.

4.) I believe that stigma associated with mental illness remains a pernicious force, despite substantial progress in recent years. Stigma keeps troubled families from seeking help, allows discriminatory practices to continue despite the parity law, and makes mental health services and research first on the chopping block when the budget is tight. The Academy should lead an intensified effort to fight stigma on multiple fronts.

5.) As a C/L psychiatrist, I have long felt that carving out psychiatric disorders from the rest of medical illnesses was wrong from both a scientific and policy standpoint. I believe that compelling and tenacious advocacy on the state and national levels is essential to change this policy and influence others that govern our practice and shape our research.

6.) I believe we will do better being a hammer than a nail. I am honored to be running in the Academy’s election, I’m thrilled that no campaigning is allowed, and I look forward to

ongoing involvement in the good work of our organization in any capacity.

I am Professor, DPHB Vice Chair, and Director of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Brown Medical School. I am also Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Hasbro Children’s Hospital, Academic Director of the E.P. Bradley Hospital, and current president of the SPCAP. Prior to moving to Brown, I did my child psychiatry training and then directed the Pediatric C/L Service at Stanford. I’ve authored >200 articles (including 90 lay press editorials) and been PI on NIH grants for >20 yrs.

DISCLOSURES Leadership Roles: No Financial Conflict: No Family Member Conflict: No Signed on 02/21/2013 by James C. MacIntyre, II, M.D. signed as James C. MacIntyre, II STATEMENT Fired Up for the Coming Decade!

As Chairperson of AACAP’s “Back to Project Future,” I’ve been on a yearlong “listening tour” with members to develop a plan or “roadmap” for the coming decade. I’ve met with AACAP’s Council, the Assembly of Regional Organizations, the chairpersons of AACAP committees and I led a very energetic members’ Town Meeting on this topic in San Francisco. I’ve been brainstorming in person and by phone and email to members of all ages, from many diverse clinical settings, and at different stages in their careers and professional development. Working on “Back to Project Future” has given me a unique opportunity to listen, step back, and think seriously about what’s needed during the coming decade - a bird’s eye view. It has been fascinating, fun, and eye-opening.

Members’ overwhelmingly are concerned about the major changes coming to medicine, as described by Eric Topol as “The Creative Destruction of Medicine” (2012). Our collective future relies on our ability to find the opportunities amidst the profound changes—to “thrive on chaos.” We must not be passive! We must all be engaged in the future of our field, and the Academy must step up and provide leadership during this crucial time.

I believe I have the necessary perspective and background from my career to lead the Academy during these changing and

challenging times. I have been a teacher, academician, senior administrator and practicing clinician. I have: • worked four decades in public mental health systems (Calif., New York, N. Carolina) with SED children/teens. • worked in a large county hospital, medical school, state psychiatric center, state mental health agency and large non-

profit health system. • developed a system of care for SED children/adolescents with public financing. • focused on treatment needs of SED children (restraint/seclusion; guidelines for antipsychotic medications). • been working (2005-present) as a full-time attending psychiatrist at Carolinas HealthCare System’s Behavioral Health

Center (public non-profit) treating seriously disturbed children and teens (inpatient and medication clinic).

It is crucial for the Academy leadership to help all its members—especially our younger members (students, residents and early career)—see the many opportunities and excitement in child and adolescent psychiatry. We are a talented, diverse and thoughtful group of professionals. Because of my work with “Back to Project Future,” I am motivated, invigorated and stand at the ready to assist the Academy as it moves forward to implement the project’s recommendations, with the full participation of its diverse and talented membership.

AACAP has been my professional home for 35 years; I care deeply about the Academy and its mission. Over the years I have developed many close friendships with members who have nurtured and sustained me throughout my career. I am honored to be nominated for President-Elect and ask for your support. It will be my great privilege to work with all Academy members and leadership to meet the challenges ahead.

Child & Adolescent Psychiatry is facing challenging and turbulent times, but a period of great opportunity and potential as well. In light of issues ranging from Healthcare Reform, EMRs, DSM-V, conflicts of interest, and coding changes, to advocacy, parity, research funding, training, and stigma, AACAP needs leadership poised to efficiently and effectively tackle a broad range of topics. The good news is that with so many issues being actively dealt with on a national and regional level at this time, there is tremendous potential for AACAP to provide input, guidance, and leadership as to the manner in which many of these are addressed. In order to achieve success, this will require a pro-active and coordinated effort by AACAP leadership working together and in concert with the membership.

I would very much look forward to the responsibility of managing issues related to bylaws, membership, elections, disclosures of affiliation, organizational records and meeting minutes. These are duties that I know I could successfully complete, and have had significant experience in leadership positions conducting similar work.

Equally important, the Secretary is a member of Council and a member of the Executive Committee. Council consists of 16 elected members and 2 resident members, meeting four times per year, while the Executive Committee is a five-member subset of Council which convenes monthly. These leadership groups require individuals willing to commit the time and energy to communicate with members, prioritize, strategize, make decisions and actively lead the organization. It is critical, particularly for the smaller Executive Committee which meets more frequently to address the operations of the AACAP, that the committee members are leaders who are actively engaged, invested, good collaborators, and excellent communicators.

I believe that through my prior work with AACAP at a regional and national level, as well as at The University of Nebraska Medical Center, that I have demonstrated the skills, ability, and enthusiasm to be successful as Secretary of the AACAP. I would be honored to be able to serve in this capacity on behalf of the members, as well as the children and families we care for.

What an honor to be nominated to serve as secretary of AACAP! AACAP has been my first professional home upon graduation from my CAP fellowship in 1988. I owe a debt of gratitude to the many mentors, particularly Dr. Elizabeth Weller who taught me the fundamental tenet of being a good physician: “our patients: they are the most important.” As no other organization advocates for the needs of our patients like AACAP: be it access, the need for evidence based treatments or collaborating with agencies to develop better systems of care for children, to me AACAP is a powerful member driven organization that gets things done.

Our health care delivery system is in crisis: the fragmentation between the public, private and academic sectors has led to overlaps and gaps in service delivery. Each major challenge connects to multiple viable solutions. The role of AACAP is to ponder these complex issues and move us from rhetoric to action. These issues include the utilization of technology like Electronic Health Records to improve medical communication between disparate systems, improve collaborative care, less iatrogenic errors and reduce resource waste. Other challenges are the creation of financial incentives to move point of service delivery from expensive inpatient systems to community based care. AACAP and pharmaceutical companies is a topic that creates sharp divisions in AACAP’s membership and will require ongoing transparent dialogue so that the executive council decisions are reflective of membership sentiment. On a more sanguine note, CAPs are increasingly successful as leaders in reaching out to pediatrics to amplify their specialized knowledge and improve access to child psychiatry. These efforts must continue and become standard practice, however lasting change will only occur if there are federal and state financial payment structures that support these service delivery models.

The common theme that emerges in all these multifaceted challenges and opportunities is that progressive and viable ideas must be championed and nurtured but also must be coupled with pragmatic steps to achieve goals. There have been many visionaries within AACAP who have built a strong foundation from which we now operate so successfully. The passing of the baton from Ginger Anthony’s remarkable tenure as Executive Director to Heidi Fordi marks the ending of one and the beginning of another era. Every EC brings its own ideology to our organization: yet AACAP rarely flounders, as it is a grassroots member driven organization that has amazing self-correcting ability.

Leadership positions in AACAP require practical visionaries who have broad based interests, embrace a variety of views reflective of a membership organization but are capable of aligning AACAPs technical and professional interests with the political landscape of health care. My passion for clinical work is paralleled by my desire to create system change and impact state and national level health care policy. If elected I will bring a good set of ears to listen to what you have to say, watchful eyes on what the future holds for health care and a strong voice to articulate your views.

Like many of us, I’ve had a diverse and varied career. I’ve practiced rural child psychiatry, riding the circuit as a consultant for the State Health Department. I’ve administered training grants, run a private practice, started inpatient services, taught medical students, supervised residents and fellows, and dealt with state and local politics. My current practice includes forensic consultation, with an emphasis on cases involving adolescents and young adults. I’m also a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Vermont, and the Director of Advocacy and Public Policy at the Vermont Center for Children, Youth & Families.

Within the Academy, I’ve served as Secretary/Treasurer and Chair of the Assembly. I’m also a member of the Committee on Consumer Issues and of our Delegation to the AMA House of Delegates. I’m currently the President of the Vermont Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and our delegate to the AACAP Assembly.

These are challenging times for all professional associations. In this regard, the Academy is no different. Our members are faced with the uncertainties presented by health care reform, new CPT codes and reimbursement schedules, changing licensure and recertification requirements, and increased legislative and regulatory oversight. As an organization, we will thrive by paying close attention to the evolving needs of our members. We need to reach out and really represent all of child and adolescent psychiatry. We need to be proactive in our efforts to provide useful tools and resources for our members. We need to actively support our members in training and our early career psychiatrists. And we need to continue our efforts to secure adequate and stable funding for our training programs and research agendas. The future of our profession depends on our ability to demonstrate the effectiveness of our interventions.

Despite the challenges we face, these are also exciting times for child and adolescent psychiatry and for the Academy. It’s exciting that the science of our profession is stronger than ever. It’s exciting to practice at a time when we’re unraveling the genetics and the neurobiology of child psychiatric disorders. It’s exciting that we’re finally making real progress with respect to parity. And it’s exciting that we’re joining forces with advocacy organizations on legislative initiatives and public education campaigns.

Fortunately, the Academy is strong and stable, both organizationally and financially. Our membership and our resources are growing. Our Journal, Newsletter and website are all well utilized and highly regarded. Our Annual Meeting, Psychopharm Institute, Review Course and Advocacy Day are all well attended. As Treasurer, I would work to build on this solid foundation. I would emphasize the following priorities:

• Maintain the fiscal stability of the Academy • Focus on the practical, concrete needs of our members • Support our Regional Organizations

I am honored to be nominated to run for Treasurer. If elected, I’ll do everything I can to represent our members, advocate for our patients, and promote the goals and objectives of the Academy.

I attended medical school at Yale and received my training in adult psychiatry at the University of Vermont. After completing my fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at Cambridge Hospital, I returned to Vermont to help start Otter Creek Associates, a community based practice providing comprehensive clinical services for children, adolescents and families. I’ve maintained my academic ties with UVM, where I’m a Clinical Professor and the Director of Advocacy and Public Policy. Within the Academy, I’m a member of the Consumer Issues Committee and our alternate delegate to the AMA. I’ve also served as Secretary/Treasurer and Chair of the Assembly. Within allied organizations, I’m currently the Treasurer of the APA. I’m also the current President of the Vermont Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and our delegate to the AACAP Assembly.

I am very proud to be a child and adolescent psychiatrist and a member of AACAP. For more than 35 years, AACAP has been at the center of my professional life and identity.

My longest standing work within the AACAP has been my role as member and Deputy Chair of the Program Committee. Collaborating with the chairs and other members of that committee, we have transformed our meetings, especially the Annual Meeting into THE international meetings of professionals on the practice of child and adolescent psychiatry, and the science of developmental psychopathology, neuroscience, child psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Our meetings now attract more than 1/3 of our membership each year and have grown more than five-fold, yet still provide a welcome for colleagues from around the world and in multiple disciplines while maintaining our strong feeling of “home” for US colleagues, be they trainees or “lifers” and everyone in between. We are the benchmark for both quality and freedom from commercial bias. In no small part, the latter is due to AACAP’s “Operating Principles” that make us one of the first amongst all professional medical organizations to proactively manage these relationships. I am proud to have created and managed the “Principles” for AACAP and that we are the model for many other professional organizations, including the APA. In addition, I was a founder of the Work Group on Research and the K12 initiative and I have served on numerous committees, task forces, work groups, Presidential initiatives, and informal projects. As I have contributed to AACAP, it has contributed to me with professional growth and remarkable colleagues and friends. As your treasurer, I will bring over 35 years of intimate experience with AACAP management and operations to bear on the management of your financial resources. I am not new to this. Aside from dues, the Annual Meeting is the largest AACAP expense but also the AACAP’s largest source of revenue. I have played a significant role in managing this budget and the positive return of this important source of AACAP revenue.

If elected, I will serve as treasurer and member of the Council and Executive Committee. My vast experience with the Annual Meeting and other AACAP activities has allowed me to personally know many of you, my fellow AACAP members. I have learned what you want and need as you do your work as practitioners, scholars and advocates. AACAP can and must play a role in helping you meet your professional goals and ambitions. I assure you that I intend to use my position to not only manage your money well but to also actively engage in the business of AACAP governance so that your organization serves you well. AACAP belongs to us and it must stand for the best that it can be for us, for our profession, for our patients, and for children, adolescents and their families, everywhere.

“Oh the times they are a changin” sang Bob Dylan years ago. In retrospect, it seems “change” was an understatement. We are in the midst of momentous transformations in the world, the country, and in health care delivery. Times like this offer enormous opportunities and AACAP is at the heart of it all for child and adolescent psychiatrists. I have devoted my career as a clinician-educator to bringing a practical, evidence-based approach to training our fellows, general psychiatry residents, pediatric residents, and medical students. While I started out firmly as a family therapist, I came to see the value of the many perspectives that we need to integrate as contemporary child psychiatrists. Our understanding about the etiology and treatment of psychiatric disorders has grown tremendously, and accordingly the complex pluralism we must embrace to help our patients and families is fundamental. I have been a member of AACAP for over 30 years and am a Distinguished Fellow of the organization. Each year I increasingly appreciate the crucial role that AACAP plays in support of excellence in our field. After residency, AACAP is THE organization that child psychiatrists need for the scientific, educational, political, and emotional support to best meet the needs of our patients.

The most pressing issues for practicing child psychiatrists are related to payment for and organization of services delivery. We have witnessed a major change this year with new CPT coding and increasing demands for electronic medical records. Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) will play a major role in shaping payment and service delivery. Collaborative care and Medical Homes are increasingly promoted and offer new, efficient and cost-effective means of healthcare delivery. Pediatrics and family medicine are more open to collaboration than any time in the past. We are poised to truly work together to foster the mental health needs of children but we need to embrace this opportunity and actively promote such alliances. To do this we need to have strong voices advocating for the best interests of children’s mental health, which includes the critical role of child psychiatrists. AACAP is the organization that gives us our strongest voice.

I have served in leadership positions regionally and nationally, through AACAP and AADPRT. With these experiences I have gained a national perspective on training and education, workforce, advocacy, and the role and infrastructure of professional organizations. At a state level, I am the director of CAP PC (www.cappcny.org), a collaborative care program in New York involving 5 university based child psychiatry divisions. In the past few years I have had an opportunity to serve on the QI Committee for the largest insurer in the region and have gained a new perspective on service delivery. Throughout my career I have maintained a private practice, which I have always enjoyed and felt was essential to my role as a training director. With these experiences I feel I am well able to represent the interests of a broad constituency of child psychiatrists and would be honored to serve as Councilor-At-Large.

McGinty, M.D. signed as Kaye Lucas McGinty STATEMENT The mental health of children, youth and families is our focus as clinicians, educators, researchers, administrators, and members of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. With the current changes in the health care system it is a perfect time for us to refocus our efforts on promoting models of care and systems that honor and promote family-driven, youth-guided care. In such a system clinical care would be customized according to the needs and values of the youth and family and be based on continuous healing relationships, most notably family relationships. Furthermore, in this work we recognize that the youth’s voice and choice is essential too. The AACAP has been working to promote this effort including partnerships with family advocacy groups, youth advocacy groups, government agencies and professional groups (AAP, APA). For example, the AACAP Youth Advisory Group, which is made up of youth, young adults and child and adolescent psychiatrists, developed the Youth Section on the AACAP website to provide education, information and advocacy tips for youth, families, policy makers and professionals. As Co-chair of the Committee for Community-Based Systems of Care I participated in these efforts and as Councilor-at-Large I would encourage additional initiatives with AACAP members, regional organizations, government agencies, and other entities to help promote this vital part of our mission. Becoming a member of the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Council of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in 2001 was a turning point for me. I had been active as an educator, clinician, administrator and scholar; and had attended many regional and national meetings. However, being involved at the regional level made me more aware of the multiple issues affecting our region and provided the opportunity to work with colleagues to find solutions. In the meantime I became a member of the AACAP Committee for Community-Based Systems of Care and this gave me the opportunity to work at the national level on one of my passions – systems of care. Members of AACAP are facing many opportunities and challenges including the CPT code changes, access to care issues, changes in training models, development and implementation of integrated care, continuing development of the child serving systems and increased research initiatives at a time with reduced research funding. How do we tackle these issues? As an organization we have numerous committees and regional organizations working on these issues. We need to continue to support these efforts and promote their work. But that is not enough. We need your ideas, energy, and help too. I would like to encourage each AACAP member to bring their passion to this effort. I am grateful for the opportunities AACAP and NCCCAP have provided me and it would be an honor to continue to serve the membership as Councilor-At-Large.

My relationship with the Academy began in the fall of 1999, when I joined the AACAP as the Director of Research and Training. At the time, I was contemplating a career change from law to children’s mental health and after spending two years with so many enthusiastic champions for children, I decided to take the plunge and headed off to medical school.

My time at the AACAP taught me much about the challenges we face as a profession and left me very motivated to be part of the Academy’s ongoing efforts to improving outcomes for children. As I reflect back, many of the issues we faced then are still significant challenges today: access to care, expanding the work force, and developing better treatments, to name a few. While resolution of these challenges isn’t a realistic goal, I think there are opportunities to work smarter and to think more systemically about change. One area of particular interest for me is in using technology to improve access to high quality training materials. My recent work with the ACGME made it apparent to me that academic medicine is changing rapidly and we need to adopt new tools to ensure trainees will be given the skills they will need for practice. The content of training will continue to expand while the finances of academic medicine will continue to contract, creating significant challenges for training programs. The AACAP, in collaboration with the other training organizations, could help develop new training tools that would fill this gap, providing high quality materials for all trainees.

Similarly, I think technology will be an important part of the solution to the access problem, and one example of this is the use of telemedicine to increase access to psychiatric services. Here too, I think there is a role for the AACAP in assisting members in different states in designing their systems and in serving as a clearing house for information. My recent experience in Nebraska in helping to design a telepsychiatry program increased my awareness of the need for this type of technical guidance.

Technology can also play an important role in expanding the evidence base for a broader array of treatments to help children and families, and I would like to see the Academy play a more active role in supporting the need for these treatments and ensuring they are available to all children. As a profession, we have witnessed our role in the treatment process become increasingly limited to medication management. While these are important treatment options, we need to advocate for research to further our understanding of the biological implications of behavioral and therapeutic interventions. There is much work to be done and I appreciate the opportunity to be considered for the Councilor-At-Large position.

DISCLOSURES Leadership Roles: Yes Leadership Roles and Name of the Organization: Baystate Medical Center: Chief of Child Psychiatry and Vice Chair Financial Conflict: No Family Member Conflict: No Signed on 03/19/2013 by Barry Sarvet, M.D. signed as Barry Sarvet STATEMENT

I love being a child and adolescent psychiatrist. Since completing my fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center 20 years ago, I remain firmly convinced that child psychiatry is indeed one of the most fascinating and rewarding of all medical professions. It's also one of the most compelling: the effects of unmet children's mental health needs are becoming more and more apparent in communities across the United States. The recent passage of federal healthcare reform and mental health parity legislation provides us with unprecedented opportunities to engage in solutions to address unmet mental health needs in the population. At the same time, rapid changes in our healthcare delivery systems present significant challenges.

In newly configured healthcare systems, child psychiatrists are vitally needed, however we will need to be prepared to work differently. We will increasingly become part of a healthcare team organized around the primary care setting. Within these teams, our work will be coordinated with that of others, requiring us to improve our practices of communication with pediatric colleagues. With our small workforce, we will certainly not be able to directly provide ongoing psychiatric treatment for all children with significant mental illness. Therefore, in order to ensure access to care, we will need to develop new clinical models enabling us to influence and improve the quality of care that may be provided by other members of the team.

My work within AACAP over the past 15 years has been focused on the future of child psychiatry practice. Observing the powerful influence of economic forces on our profession, I joined the Committee on Healthcare Access and Economics. In partnership with AACAP leadership and staff, this group has strongly advocated for adequate funding of child and adolescent psychiatry services, mental health parity, and insurance reform. Over time, I became more and more preoccupied with issues of access and, stimulated by discussions within the committee, I became fascinated with the idea of collaboration with pediatricians as a strategy for extending the reach of our profession. In tandem with my professional and academic activities in MA and around the country related to the development of systems of child psychiatry collaboration with pediatric primary care, I began to work within the AACAP Committee on Collaboration with Medical Professionals and ad-hoc inter-committee groups. In these groups, we have worked on defining the role of child psychiatry services within evolving healthcare systems and helping to prepare members for these new collaborative roles. Most recently, I have been leading AACAP’s newest component, the Task Force on Health Information Technology. We have developed a policy statement regarding confidentiality of mental health information within EMR systems and a variety of new resources to assist members who wish to adopt health information technology in their clinical practice.

I am proud of our organization’s commitment to improving the lives of children with mental health needs and helping to sustain the unique and vital role of child and adolescent psychiatrists in this endeavor. I will be honored to serve on Council.

Barry Sarvet is Chief of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Vice Chairman of the Dept. of Psychiatry at Baystate Health, MA, Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Tufts School of Medicine. He is Medical Director of the Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Project, a public system for improving access to care for children with mental health needs. His leadership and advocacy work has been focused on promoting integration of child psychiatry in primary care and disseminating best practices in child psychiatry. Dr. Sarvet is chair of the AACAP Task Force on Health Information Technology and serves on AACAP’s Healthcare Access and Economics Committee, Committee on Collaboration with Medical Professionals, and Back to Project Future Committee on Clinical Service Delivery. Dr. Sarvet has recently helped to organize the National Network of Child Psychiatry Access Projects promoting collaborative care with pediatrics.
