JEFF KATZMAN, M.D.

Department of
Psychiatry

VICE CHAIR FOR EDUCATION AND ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

My adventure in New Mexico began in 1997 a few years after completing residency training. I had spent my life in California where I grew up in Los Angeles and went to college at Stanford University. I went to medical school at UC San Diego and completed my psychiatry residency training at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute. Following residency training, I joined the faculty at UCLA where I directed the outpatient and rehabilitation programs for veterans with post traumatic stress disorder at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center for four years. During this time, I also participated in the psychodynamic psychotherapy training program at the Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis and served as the medical director for the Imagination Workshop, an improvisational theater program for patients with serious medical illness.
After moving to Albuquerque, I joined the psychiatry consult liaison service at the New Mexico VA for two years before becoming the Chief of Psychiatry there and later the Director of Behavioral Health Services, a position which I held for eight years. This past year, I moved from the VA over to UNM where I have joined the education program as the Vice Chair for Education and Academic Affairs for the Psychiatry Department.
I spend much of my time working with residents, medical students, and learners at all levels teaching the concepts of psychodynamic psychotherapy and human attachment. I work closely with the Residency Training Director and Director of Medical Student Training to identify new areas of growth for our programs. We have created many exciting new programs for residents and students. I am particularly proud of a new program of psychotherapy supervision for which we have received national attention. Our residents are involved in a weekly supervision program in which they present cases to highly experienced analysts around the nation via sophisticated telehealth equipment in a case conference format. This has been a unique and exciting learning experience for our residents. I strongly encourage you to keep exploring our web site. I hope to get to meet you if you venture out to our program for a visit and hope to get to show you around the department and the city of Albuquerque.
