Paul Dagg
MD FRCPC, Clinical Director, Tertiary Mental Health, Interior Health Authority of British Columbia, Canada
Psychiatrist and Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada since 1991. He is currently the Clinical Director for Tertiary Mental Health for the Interior Health Authority of British Columbia, a diverse and rugged area of 200,000 square kilometers and a population of over 700, 000 people. As such he has the responsibility of building tertiary mental health services for this region where they have not existed before and without an academic health science centre in the area. He will be assuming an academic position with the Department of Psychiatry at the University of British Columbia at the rank of Associate Professor in July, 2006.
Dr. Dagg has been heavily involved in postgraduate training in medicine and psychiatry. He is currently a member of the Accreditation Committee of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada who set standards for residency training in specialty medicine in Canada, and has previously served on the Examination Board in Psychiatry as Vice Chair and as a member. Until 2005, he was the Assistant Dean for Postgraduate Education in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa, and Associate Professor and Vice Chair in the Department of Psychiatry. In 1996, he was awarded, along with a colleague, the American College of Psychiatrists Award for Creativity in Psychiatric Education.
In addition to his administrative and educational responsibilities, Dr. Dagg has co-authored “Abortion and Common Sense”, published in 2003, a book that describes historical, social and psychological issues relevant to the delivery of abortion services, and has published and presented on this topic on several occasions. He has an interest as well in service delivery models in mental health, psychotherapy and the role of evidence in its practice, and in the treatment of adults with Pervasive Developmental Disorders and Asperger’s syndrome.
