Nomination for Massachusetts Psychiatric Society APA Representative - RICK WOLTHUSEN
Hello All,
Rick Wolthusen here - I am a Duke-trained psychiatrist. I now work at McLean Hospital (in the Division for Psychotic Disorders) as an inpatient attending. I am a member of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the Massachusetts Psychiatric Society (MPS).
The MPS 2025/2026 elections will start in April. Nominations for office can be made by the Nominating Committee. Additionally, nominations can be made by a petition signed by twenty-five (25) or more members eligible to vote. I am currently a member of the APA Council on International Psychiatry and Global Health. I am also a member of the Global Mental Health Caucus, where I co-coordinate efforts to compile a Global Mental Health Curriculum for psychiatric residency programs. I believe in the APA as an institution and its components, and I am eager to take on additional responsibility. I kindly ask you, as a member of the Massachusetts Psychiatric Society, to please sign this petition to allow me to be added to the nomination list for APA Representative. There are two open positions this year.
Please reach out with questions ([email protected]). I want to thank you in advance for your support.

I have been hearing from so many of you about the need for fresher perspectives in our leadership. These conversations confirm my belief that we are ready to shape a more global and innovative future for the Massachusetts Psychiatric Society.

Seeing this level of support from my colleagues across the state has been incredibly grounding for me. Knowing that so many of you value my commitment to our field makes me even more determined to push for a seat at the table.
