As chairman of the Ghostbusters, Dr. Venkman is responsible for the
direction of the Ghostbusters.

With PhD's in both parapsychology and psychology, Dr. Venkman is
uniquely qualified to understand the minds of regular and
supernatural beings alike, thus making him invaluable when dealing
with those circumstances when the two worlds occassionally collide.

Dr. Venkman's main field of study is in psychic phenomenon. Before
cofounding the Ghostbusters, Dr. Venkman's studies on psychic
phenomenon at Columbia University were lauded for both their
vision and scientific detail. In academia, Dr. Venkman is well known
as a consummate "Man of Science".

Being a man of compassion, Dr. Venkman often goes well beyond the
call of duty when assisting clients in their most desperate hour.
