The Centers for Public Service Psychiatry (CPSP)

The Center for Public Service Psychiatry (CPSP) is dedicated to developing and practicing public service psychiatry. CPSP is based at UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital, the home of the UPMC’s Department of Psychiatry. Currently, the center operates in two locations: Pittsburgh and Erie.

CPSP contributes leadership, collaboration, education, and community-oriented research opportunities that support UPMC’s commitment to community well-being.

In collaboration with state-wide participants of the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Leadership Council, CPSP is a proponent of recovery-oriented systems of care and the ideals of whole-person health.

Interested in participating as a research subject?


Public Service Psychiatry Fellowship

CPSP offers an outstanding fellowship in public service psychiatry. The fellowship is a one-year post-residency opportunity, and up to five positions are available each year.

The fellowship enables learners to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to assume leadership positions in diverse systems of care. It also enhances public service psychiatry education offered to medical students, psychiatry residents, fellows, primary care physicians, and other provider specialties.

The center fosters partnerships with rural and urban communities throughout the region, strengthening the quality of services and their responsiveness to the community’s needs. The advanced training in leadership, collaboration, and system dynamics equips fellows to make essential contributions to service administration and behavioral health policy across the nation.
