2nd Year Eval by Dr. Dan Haupt

General Comments Section:

Dr. Alade performed impressively during his PGY 2 consult rotation. It was a pleasure to work with him, partly because it was clear that he is dedicated to helping others. His oral, dictated, and written exams were extremely reliable, likely related to the thoroughness of his evaluations. He was adept at recognizing when a pt had slipped through the cracks, and took responsibility for ensuring that the pt received the care they deserved. He spontaneously and independently worked to increase the database of dictated consults by creating dictations that reflected the written consultations that had occurred over the weekend. Consistent with these observations, he worked diligently with an elderly pt in making an important health care decision, taking ownership of ensuring that the pt understood the risks and benefits of his treatment options when it became clear that if Obie did not provide this service, no one else on the health care team would. The pt went on to trust Obie implicitly, and chose to receive care at a SNF despite initially being unwilling to consider this as a treatment option. I also observed Obie to quickly develop rapport with pts, including one pt who was intent on suicide. When I visited his pts in his absence, it was common for them to spontaneously compliment Dr. Alade's care. He considered the health of all of the pts on the team to be his responsibility, and in one situation worked to establish rapport and community support for an unfortunate woman from Togo who immigrated to the US as a sex worker, then developed new onset type 1 diabetes, even though it was not specifically his pt. Obie has a calm, respectful demeanor that is well-suited to the field of psychiatry. Pts sense his sincerity and his humility, and this likely contributes to his excellent information gathering ability. His calmness and patience is also appreciated by his colleagues. Obie handled himself particularly well under the stress of the busy consult service, in one situation providing excellent management of a consult from a disrespectful attending. While always polite, Obie would appropriately challenge any members of the health care team to treat pts with mental illnesses without bias or prejudice. Dr. Alade is already an excellent resident, and is likely to make great contributions to the practice of psychiatry.
