Dr Gonzalez Offers Expert Opinion of Va. Tech Massacre

On Thursday, April 19th Dr. Fermin Gonzalez, Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Jamaica Hospital Medial Center and Flushing Hospital Medical Center was interviewed by Channel 41 - Univision, the most widely watched Hispanic television channel in theUnited States.

The interview was held shortly after the massacre at Virginia Tech University and focused on the psychological profile of the student who committed this crime, if his actions could have been prevented and how the act affects college students across the country.

Dr. Gonzalez has a great deal of media experience and is regularly called upon by Univision to provide expert analysis for the Spanish–speaking station.  The Public Affairs Department of our Network is currently searching for more physicians to offer their expertise in this fashion and will include them in our MediSys “Book of Experts.” This resource guide of MediSys clinicians will be distributed to the media for interview purposes.

For more information about being included in the Book of Experts, please call the Public Affairs Department at 718-206-6746.
