Background Currently, Carlat is a faculty member at Tufts Medical School and serves as the editor of The Carlat Psychiatry Report, a monthly newsletter. In another 2007 article in The Boston Globe, he criticized Massachusetts General Hospital for accepting millions of dollars from drug companies that sponsored continuing medical education courses in psychiatry.
