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. Cancellations: The Business Meeting and Awards Reception originally scheduled in conjunction with the APA Annual Meeting are cancelled due to COVID-19. |
