The Yale University psychology professor who called in her conclusion that President Trump was mentally impaired was recently criticized for ignoring well-established protocol. She made her diagnosis without ever actually examining the president. Now she faces additional criticism for another professional faux pas.
It appears that Professor Bandy Lee is not currently licensed to practice psychology in her own state of Connecticut.
Campus Reform discovered that Lees physician/surgeon license in Connecticut expired more than two years ago on May 31, 2015 and she hasnt applied for a renewal since then.
In addition, Lees controlled substance registration for practitioner license expired nearly a year ago in February of 2017.
In response to Campus Reforms inquiry on the matter, Lee simply stated that I need only one license, though she has yet to elaborate on precisely which license that is, and, according to the state in which she resides, she allegedly has none.
Lee didnt merely publish her diagnosis she took it to Capitol Hill to brief lawmakers. Yale News reported:
On Dec. 5 and 6, Lee met with more than a dozen congressmen, including one Republican senator, Politico reported. In her presentation, Lee relied on the assessments of 27 mental health professionals, compiled in the book she edited, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. Though she could not diagnose Trump without a formal evaluation, she said, Trumps recent behavior shows that he may be a danger to the American public

NYS has a screwy system. Licenses are given by the Board of Regents and are good for life unless surrendered or revoked.
In order to practice medicine, you have to REGISTER your license with the Office of Professional Medical Conduct, which registration has to be renewed periodically and is subject to all sorts of conditions.
Dr. Bandy Xenopia Lee is licensed and registered in New York, her registration expires 4/30/18.
She needs to be put in a rubber truck.
“That might make sense for someone who is a tenured professor, but she is not tenured”
Well, she’s trying to get it and this will probably work.
Psychiatrists have the same MD degree as surgeons. Only the residency is different.

While she does not need a license to teach, she is listed at Yale as accepting patients. She is a also listed as “clinical faculty” which is the term given to psychiatrists supervising residency students. They DO need a license.
Licenses are not valid across state lines.
Her mother died and in the turmoil she forgot to renew.
That's understandable.
I was pretty good at dissection in a classroom to, don’t make me a doctor.

Having been in academia most of my life I get frustrated with what I call the free ride team graduate programs. I’ve experienced / observed them in business and governmental focused programs.
Engineering and medicine are both academically challenging due to the quantity of material required to be memorized, learned and applied. They are both individually demanding and there are no free rides.
I’ve spent the past ten years in a medical school / hospital environment so I guess I’m a bit biased. The residency program after medical school is rigorous no matter the speciality. Four years undergrad + four years med school + four years residency tends to weed out the lazy and incompetent. Then the post doc specializations on top of that can be a few more years.
I switched my career to neuroscience and find the human body and consciousness to be a never ending sequence of intriguing puzzles to solve. Retirement was just the beginning of another career.
I was replying to another poster because he/she said she could not prescribe meds because she was only a psychologist. Headline said otherwise.

Because of their medical training, psychiatrists can prescribe medication — probably the most commonly known distinction between the two fields. But a few states allow psychologists to prescribe a limited number of psychiatric medications if they’ve taken a course in psychopharmacology.
I’m against it as they don’t have the depth of knowledge necessary to understand neurobiology. Quite honestly, it is dangerous for family Dr’s to prescribe many meds such as the atypical antipsychotics. Much of their knowledge comes from drug Rep’s propaganda.
And the billions in lawsuits paid out by the drug manufacturers were settlements with the government while the people harmed got nothing. Johnson & Johnson paid several billion dollars on Risperdal while admitting no guilt and then continued pushing it. They pushed it to the elderly even though it was black boxed in the PDR as it sedated and made care easier with less staff in nursing homes. The liver side effects are horrible.
Here are a few of the atypicals
Aripiprazole
Olanzapine
Quetiapine
Risperidone
Ziprasidone
