first impressions
students, interns, residents think
they picked the right place to train
For the old hands, talking to newly arrived students
about their first impressions of TRIMS is like getting a
booster shot of enthusiasm.
"I picked the right place," says Peter Reid, clinical
psychology intern from the University of Rhode Island.
"A lot of people here, including the director, seem to be
excited about being here." Reid is serving a family/child
internship and will be spending part of his time at Chil-
dren's Mental Health Services. He will work with Dr. Jack
Fletcher on neuropsychological assessments at TRIMS
and treat patients in the adolescent and family clinic.
"There's so much going on here, my only fear is
getting myself overcommitted," he says.
Art therapy student John Moore of the University of
Houston at Clear Lake works with Felice Cohen in the
children's clinic. He's met so many people that he is
afraid he won't remember names even nine months from
now. "Things seem to be clicking away so efficiently
here," he says, "except for myself."
The Moore family-Debra Moore is a nurse-therapist
working in Baylor College of Medicine's new pain reha-
bilitation clinic-moved from Austin, and they will
probably stay in Houston after John's graduation.
young brain researchers
The two young scientists in Dr. Beng Ho's neuro-
chemistry-neuropharmacology labs are both interested in
hormones that seem to act as neurotransmitters in the
brain. Heidi Sue Phillips and Chun-Kwok Wong are
predoctoral students at the University of Texas Graduate
School of Biomedical Sciences. Phillips came frorn
Williams College and Wong from the University of
Rochester. Both will do behavioral studies in animals of
substances that have only recently been identified in the
brain.
Wong and Phillips visited the Houston institutions
several times before deciding to come here. "I liked the
general atmosphere," says Wong. "I found the people
helpful and willing to explain their work."
