Author Information

Dr. Stern is the Chief of The Avery D. Weisman, M.D. Psychiatry Consultation Service (a service that performs more than 3,500 new psychiatric consultations each year on medical and surgical floors) and Director of the Office of Clinical Careers at the Massachusetts General Hospital. He is a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and the first endowed Professor of Psychosomatic Medicine/Consultation at HMS. Dr. Stern has co-authored more than 300 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters as well as 17 books. He has lectured across the nation on medical psychiatry and directed numerous postgraduate courses. Dr. Stern is a Past-President of the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine (APM) and is a Fellow of both the American Psychiatric Association and the APM. An ad hoc reviewer for more than 30 journals, he is the Editor-in-Chief of Psychosomatics and serves on the editorial boards of seven peer-reviewed journals. In addition, he has worked with the National Board of Medical Examiners (on panels for standard-setting, item-modeling, and item-writing). On three occasions he has won the coveted Best Teacher Award from the graduating residents at the MGH/McLean Hospital Psychiatric Residency Training Program, and he has received the Thomas P. Hackett Award from the APM (its highest honor). Dr. Fava obtained his MD from University of Padova School of Medicine (residency in endocrinology); he completed residency training in psychiatry at Mass General. He founded and was director of the hospital's Depression Clinical and Research Program (DCRP) from 1990 to 2014. In 2007, he founded and is now Executive Director of the Mass General Psychiatry Clinical Trials Network and Institute (CTNI), the first academic CRO specialized in planning and coordination of multi-center clinical trials in psychiatry. Under Dr. Fava's direction, the DCRP became one of the most highly regarded depression programs in the country, a model for academic programs that link, in a bi-directional fashion, clinical and research work. His prominence in the field is reflected in his role as the co-principal investigator of STAR*D, the largest research study ever conducted in the area of depression, and of the RAPID Network, the NIMH-funded series of studies of novel, rapidly acting antidepressant therapies. Dr. Fava is a world leader in the field of depression. He has authored or co-authored more than 800 original articles published in medical journals with international circulation, edited eight books, and published more than 50 chapters and over 600 abstracts.
