Human Intervention Motivation Study (HIMS)

HIMS is also another primary focus of the practice. HIMS, is a coordinated, multidisciplinary, occupational mental health/substance abuse assessment and treatment program for members of the aviation community.

Over the past fifteen years, as a HIMS-certified, triple-board certified forensic and addiction psychiatrist, I have evaluated hundreds of aviators, ATCS’s as well as other members of the industry. These assessments are independent, nuanced, complex and involve the meticulous review of medical records, detailed face-to-face evaluation and integration of multiple clinical data points, in order to formulate a clinically sound and accurate clinical picture.

These assessments have often played a role in establishing and/or corroborating stability, success, sobriety and wellbeing, all of which pivotal in helping to preserve the integrity of the public airspace.
