Jules Ranz, MD Dr. Ranz is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center and has been director of the Public Psychiatry Fellowship at NYS Psychiatric Institute/Columbia University since 1992.

Since 1996 he has
published a number of surveys of his own
alumni, as well as
members of both the AACP and AAPA (American
Association of Psychiatric
Administrators). These publications
have demonstrated that medical
directors perform a significantly
greater variety of tasks and report significantly greater job satisfaction compared to staff psychiatrists and that the performance of administrative tasks most highly correlates with overall job satisfaction. He has also published surveys describing changes experienced by public psychiatrists over the past five years. Most recently, as co-chair of the Mental Health Services Committee of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry, he was principal author of an article published in Psychiatric Services in 2006 utilizing APA data to demonstrate that early- and mid-career psychiatrists now spend more time in publicly-funded organizational settings than in solo office practice. |
In addition to the above, he has special
interests in the areas of
supportive housing and psychosocial rehabilitation
programs for the
severely mentally ill, and for the theory and
practice of management of
mental health service organizations.
Dr. Ranz was given the 2007 Award for Excellence
in Administration,
American Association of Psychiatric
Administrators, New York Regional
Chapter, “In Recognition of Leadership and
Inspiration, in Training a
Generation of Public Psychiatrists and Psychiatric
Administrators”
He has had a wide range of experience in public
psychiatry following
residency training at P&S almost thirty years ago.
He was in charge of
residency training in an innovative three year
social and community
psychiatry residency program, director of a model
community service
specializing in systems-oriented care of adults
with severe and
persistent mental illness, and clinical director
of an urban state
psychiatric center.
