The Meet the PI lecture series continues on February 26th with a presentation by Gale Richardson, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Dr. Richardson is an expert on the developmental effects of prenatal substance use, specifically focusing on prenatal cocaine exposure (PCE) and its long-term effects on offspring.

Our Distinguished Scientist Lecture series welcomes C. Neill Epperson, MD on March 5, 2021 as our featured speaker. Dr. Epperson is the Robert Freedman Endowed Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. She is internationally known for her unique lifespan approach to women’s reproductive and behavioral health in both the clinical and research realms.

We are delighted to feature the work of Ann Cohen, PhD at our next Meet the PI lecture. Dr. Cohen is a leader in translational research in amyloid-based neurodegenerative conditions. Her work focuses on the early detection of beta-amyloid and factors that might modify the relationship between amyloid deposition and the normal concomitants of advancing age. She investigates the relationship between subclinical Alzheimer’s Disease pathology and modifiable risk factors that could explain the development of cognitive changes in midlife and old age.

It's almost time for the Ninth Annual Clinician Educator Showcase!

Join us for our next Clinical Grand Rounds when Dr. Morgan Faeder from the Pitt Department of Psychiatry welcomes colleagues from the Pitt Department of Neurology and the Stanford Hospital and Clinic to discuss how they are enhancing consultation-liaison psychiatry education by incorporating neuroradiology into the program.

The Children’s Telephonic Psychiatric Consultation Service (TiPS) is a program designed to increase the availability of peer-to-peer child psychiatry consultation teams to primary care clinicians (PCCs) who are prescribers of psychotropic medications for children insured by Pennsylvania’s Medical Assistance programs, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and UPMC commercial insurance. The program aims to provide real time resources to clinicians who desire consultative advice for children with behavioral health concerns.
