The University of Pittsburgh Department of Psychiatry empowers trainees to make a meaningful impact in the field of psychiatry.We offer a rich and supportive mentoring culture and training in a broad range of research areas, techniques, and strategies.
Pitt Psychiatry’s training infrastructure provides information about multiple career paths in academia, industry, and government, including career development award applications submitted from our Department.
An Intentional, Inclusive, and Equitable Approach to Recruitment and Retention
We adopt equitable and inclusive strategies to attract a diverse candidate pool across all training levels, including postdoctoral scholars. We recognize that diverse representation in graduate programs is not proportional to the general US population, especially for individuals identifying as Black, Hispanic, or Latina/o/x, and Indigenous.
We believe that the most powerful way to enact meaningful change is to explore every avenue within our sphere of influence, using a deliberate, relentless, and sustainable approach to diversity, equity, and inclusivity. Our DEI page provides important information about our approach to addressing these important issues.
