Textbook Talk: Dr. Kenneth Minkoff on Comprehensive Integrated Systems of Care

Advocacy Update with Dr. Rob Gadomski

Host: Rob Gadomski, DO is the Deputy Medical Director of Psychiatric Services at Project Renewal, Inc and a graduate of the Columbia Public Psychiatry Fellowship. He works primarily with homeless and marginalized individuals in the New York City area. He went to the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine for medical school and completed his psychiatry residency training at Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia before moving to NYC, where he gathered an interest in working with homeless populations and individuals interacting with the criminal legal system. Editor: Mike Zhang, a fourth-year medical student, is drawn to community psychiatry because it bridges clinical care with public health and social support, allowing him to work directly with underserved populations. Having lived in diverse places and seen how community context shapes well-being, he values psychiatry’s potential to address mental health through connection and collaboration. He is especially interested in how preventive and rehabilitative services can improve long-term outcomes for individuals and families. Social Media Content Creator: Julia Kooser, a resident at Penn Highlands DuBois, believes that addressing social drivers of health is imperative for maintaining psychological and mental health. During medical school, she was able to take part in initiatives to distribute naloxone to people within the community, and also took part in hosting voter registration events to mobilize individuals within the local community. Julia believes that when people have the ability to meet their basic needs, such as having access to housing and access to medical care and voting for individuals that represent their best interests, individuals are empowered to live happy and fulfilled lives. She feels that community psychiatry is the best vehicle for understanding these social drivers of health, and to enact change that makes the world more equitable and just.
