We hope you will join us for our next Clinical Grand Rounds on December 3, 2021 focusing on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). DBT is an evidence-based practice originally designed for individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder that is often used more broadly for people who require a higher level of care for multiple, often treatment-resistant, psychiatric diagnoses. 

Our featured speakers will be Stephanie Stepp, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology and Ran Li, MD, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Tiffany Painter, CSW, Program Director for the Intensive Outpatient Program and Partial Hospitalization Program at UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital.
