Subject: Douglas A. Drossman, Past IOM Gulf-War-and-Health Author
(Bold added - not in original text.)
From "Drossman Care; Drossman Center for the Education and Practice of Biopsychosocial Care" (copyright 2013)
http://drossmancenter.com/about/team/about-dr-drossman/
The above link features a photo of Drossman with a one-word caption identifying him as "CEO".
"Dr. Drossman has been in academic medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine for 40 years and has committed his career to... and psychosomatic medicine and psychiatry."
"...he trained with Dr. George Engel and became a charter fellow in the American Academy on Physician and Patient (now American Academy of Communication and HealthCare) that teaches academicians communication skills.
He has studied the clinical aspects of mind-body interactions and the biopsychosocial model, and has held more than $15 million in NIH and industry grants.
Dr. Drossman is an effective writer and communicator with more than 500 publications, having served as Associate Editor for Gastroenterology, the Gastroenterology Editor of the Merck Manual for 17 years, and the editorial board of journals in medicine, gastroenterology, and psychosomatic medicine.
He has built a successful academic career through leadership in national and international programs, many of which he created."
"He earned a Doctor of Medicine degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, as well as completing postgraduate residencies and certification in internal medicine, additional fellowship training in psychosocial medicine and fellowships and certification in Gastroenterology."
"Some of Dr. Drossman’s specific accomplishments follow:
Received national research, mentoring, education, and clinical awards from... American Psychosomatic Society, and other international organizations
Past President of the American Psychosomatic Society
Institute of Medicine Committees on Gulf War and Health in 2008, 2010 and in 2012
Past advisor to most of the pharmaceutical companies involved in phase II and III studies of agents for IBS and other FGIMDs"
Please see Drossman's website for more-detailed information, especially the numerous organizations with whom he is/has been involved. Drossman's "about" webpage also features his 96-page CV including bibliography. I only very-very momentarily scrolled through this info. Perhaps those who are familiar with various psychosomatic/biopsychosocial narratives will recognize Drossman's work and collegues.
Under "Investment" and in video, Drossman explains how he hopes his model will shape the future of Western health, and he's looking for investors to help make his dream a reality.
"The Drossman Center can work with private practices, clinics and hospitals in the US to train health care providers in his DrossmanCare methods."
