Rajendra Persaud, also known as Raj Persaud (born 13 May 1963) is an English consultant psychiatrist, broadcaster and author of popular books about psychiatry. He is the son of Trinidad-born author Dr. Lakshmi Persaud and Professor Bishnodat Persaud. He is well known for raising public awareness of psychiatric and mental health issues in the general media. He has published five popular books and has received numerous awards. He lives in Central London and is married to an eye surgeon who works at Moorfields Eye Hospital. They have a son and daughter. ==Academic Career== Persaud was educated at The Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School and at University College London, where he read for his degrees in medicine and psychology. His first year at UCL was marred by failure after he was forced to re-sit the examinations in anatomy, which he attributed later to availing himself too freely of the other educational opportunities there. He told the ''British Medical Journal'' that this left him "traumatised" and he compensated by virtually taking up residence in the college library, eventually achieving at least three degrees, four diplomas and a membership examination, including: * BSc Degree in Psychology with First Class Honours, Department of Psychology, University College London (1984) * MB BS Degree in Medicine, The School of Medicine, University College London (1985) * DHMSA, Degree in the History of Medicine, Worshipful Society of Apothecaries (1988) * Dip Phil (Diploma in Philosophy) Extra-Mural Department, Birkbeck College (1990) * MRCPsych Membership of Royal College of Psychiatrists (1990) * MPhil Master of Philosophy, Institute of Psychiatry (1992) * Dip Hlth Econ, Diploma in Health Economics, Planning and Management, with Distinction, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (1993) * MSc Social Research Methods and Statistics, City University London (1995) He was a psychiatric trainee at the Bethlem Royal Hospital and Maudsley Hospital in London, a research scholar and post-doctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the USA in 1990 and a research worker at the Institute of Neurology at UCL. In 2000 he was awarded a UCL Fellowship, and in 2005 he was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. He is also a Fellow of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries. Persaud resigned from his position as consultant psychiatrist at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust in October 2008, following a 3-month suspension by the General Medical Council for dishonesty.〔James Sturcke and Martin Wainwright, ("Disgraced Raj Persaud quits as consultant at leading hospital" ), ''The Guardian'', 24 October 2008〕 He is a Senior Lecturer in Psychiatry at the University of London and has a Visiting Professor role at Gresham College for Public Understanding of Psychiatry. In 2002 he was voted one of the top ten psychiatrists in the UK by a survey of the Institute of Psychiatry and the Royal College of Psychiatrists, published in the ''Independent on Sunday'' newspaper. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rajendra Persaud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
