Medical Professionals Sought for Review Board

Applications are being sought from specialized medical professionals to serve on the St. Mary’s County Adult Public Guardianship Review Board.

The board reviews and makes recommendations to the court regarding the continuation, modification, or termination of public guardianship of adults with disabilities.

“Serving on the Adult Public Guardianship Review Board is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of some of our most vulnerable community members,” said Lori Jennings-Harris, director of the Department of Aging & Human Services. “We are seeking compassionate, qualified medical professionals who can lend their expertise to help ensure these individuals receive the care and dignity they deserve.”

Board members meet in person semi-annually, typically in January and July, to discuss individuals under public guardianship. Applicants must be qualified medical professionals with experience in prescribing or overseeing mental health medications, such as psychiatrists or psychiatric nurse practitioners.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
