Bio

In June of 2021, after nearly 40 years in full time clinical practice as a psychiatrist, I began the next phase of a journey as a full time social-political entrepreneur. My effort will take the form of The Citizenism Project. Building on my experience in the medical and health care ecosystem as well as other influences,

The Citizenism Project's goal is to empower citizens to make democracy function better.

We envision an active, well-informed citizenry engaged in a thriving American democracy that facilitates an opportunity for all Americans to flourish.
We actively engage fellow citizens of all ages, in multiple settings in a non-partisan equitable manner through the introduction of a framework for deliberation, live as well as digital events, a citizen toolbox, civic resources and crowdsourcing activity by individuals and groups to promote the best in democratic life locally and nationally.

With the US Declaration of Independence’s 250th anniversary ( July 2026) as a milestone the project's various components will be introduced.

The project will launch three initiatives during the first months of 2022.

The Philadelphia Center for Salutogenesis

The COVID 19 Citizen Commission

The Pain Opioid Epidemic Case Presentation
