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.
