JOBS: RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP AVAILABLE IN DISPARITIES EDUCATION

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP AVAILABLE IN DISPARITIES EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY

UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER MEDICAL CENTER

The Program of Research and Innovation in Disparities Education (Rochester PRIDE Track) is an experiential training program that strives to develop, refine, examine, and ultimately disseminate a new paradigm for mental health research training. The fellowship prepares trainees to engage in community based participatory research while also providing advanced clinical training in an urban community mental health center. Trainees benefit from both university and community based mentors, while conducting research in 'real world' community settings. The primary aim of the fellowship is to enhance trainees' skills and knowledge base while also addressing the unique developmental challenges faced by trainees who are in the midst of choosing career paths. Upon completing the program, fellows will have developed culturally-relevant knowledge and skills in the conceptualization, assessment, and treatment of mental health disorders in diverse populations. For further information visit our website at http://www.urmc.edu/smd/psych/educ_train.
