Dr. Nguyen has said that he sees his role as serving to oversee the clinical care of patients, provide guidance and training for our trainees, manage and supervise the day-to-day clinical operations, all the while being cognizant of financial responsibilities and availability of resources. Another major priority is collaboration with other services and departments. As Chief of the Psychiatry C/L Services, Dr. Nguyen has worked diligently to improve care and treatment for psychiatrically ill patients in the medical and surgical settings. "Good patient care means providing the best medical opinion and treatment available for the patient. But in this day and age, it also must mean being knowledgeable about resources, collaborating appropriately with colleagues, and being mindful of health care costs and dollars. Setting a good example in this is the best type of mentoring for our young doctors."

Major themes include the diagnostic validity of childhood disorders, the role of family and peer relationships in normal and atypical development, the early prediction of behavioral and learning problems, the neuropsychology and neurobiology of impulsive and externalizing behavior, expressions of psychopathology in female samples, and the implementation of combinations of psychosocial and pharmacologic intervention for children with externalizing behavior disorders, with strong emphasis on moderators and mediators of outcome. Increasingly, research interests are focusing on adolescent and young adult outcomes, as the youth in his various projects continue to participate in prospective, longitudinal studies. An additional area of focus is the stigmatization of mental illness, with interest in a variety of related topics (e.g., interpersonal manifestations of stigma, implicit attitudes, developmental processes, media influences, dehumanization, international efforts to combat stigma).
