Stephen C. Scheiber, MD died June 20, 2020 at the age of 82. Steve (together with his wife, Mickie) served in the Peace Corps prior to entering psychiatry- an experience which favorably influenced his life and career. Steve had a pervasive influence on the field of Psychiatry over his lifetime. I first became aware of Steve while he was on the faculty of the University of Arizona in Tucson. He joined the department chaired by Alan Levenson with Allan Beigel and Henry Brosin among its outstanding faculty. He served as Director of Training. Steve later became the Executive Director of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, a position he held from 1986 until 2006.  He was an educator and made contributions to medical student and residency education throughout his career as a faculty member of university departments (Tucson, Chicago) as well as through his contributions to the GAP Committee on Education, AADPRT and other organizations.
Steve was influential in professional organizations serving as a member of the Board and/or as President of several including the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry, The American College of Psychiatrists, the Senior Psychiatrists, the Benjamin Rush Society, and AADPRT.
Steve wore a persistent smile, was genuinely happy to greet friends, and always volunteered to be helpful in solving difficulties encountered by others. He was a mentor to many.
His terminal illness progressed rapidly but he enjoyed visiting by telephone with friends and reminiscing about various experiences over the years.
He will be missed.
