About the Student Resolution Advocate
Karen Blackman, MD is a graduate of MSU College of Human Medicine who completed a Family Medicine residency and later a Psychiatry residency at MSU, becoming board certified in both. She worked in community settings in each of her specialties, before her academic career as a psychiatrist in the MSU Family Medicine Department. In that role she taught at the college, did consultations, treated students with psychiatric problems at Olin Health Center, and acted as a liaison between psychiatry and general medicine. Additionally, she served for many years as faculty in the Sparrow Family Medicine Residency, helping young family physicians treat their patients with psychiatric problems. She was honored with the CHM Outstanding Clinician Award in 2010 and was inducted into the Sparrow Physician Hall of Fame in 2015 for her work bringing psychiatric knowledge to primary care. She retired from the MSU Department of Family Medicine as an Associate Professor Emeritus in 2017. Since that time, she has been a psychiatric consultant for the Sparrow Family Medicine Residency Collaborative Care Team, which she helped found.
For two years during the pandemic, she volunteered weekly with the Physician Support Line (physiciansupportline.com). This national wellness line, staffed by Board Certified Psychiatrists, offers confidential and anonymous support for physicians and medical students. In this role she has listened, validated, and helped physician and student-physician callers navigate the diverse systems they work in throughout our country.
