The Training
Environment
The
University of Pittsburgh, Department of Psychiatry
offers an extremely rich academic and clinical
environment to the Center for Public Service Psychiatry.
For more than 40 years, the Department of Psychiatry has
been a national leader in the diagnosis, management, and
treatment of mental health and addictive disorders.
Over the past
15 years, the Department of Psychiatry and its community
partners have contributed to the growth of Public
Psychiatry and the vision of a recovery- based approach
to mental health.
For many
years Allegheny County has benefited from innovations in
community based behavioral health services. A rich
network of both rural and urban providers, together with
the Department of Psychiatry, has created nationally
recognized services to provide care for homeless,
forensic, and substance using populations.
The region’s
tradition of consumer provider collaboration has been
strengthened in recent years with the establishment of
the Allegheny County Coalition for Recovery (ACCR), a
grassroots organization of stakeholders in behavioral
health services that is focused on system
transformation. ACCR is recognized across the state and
the Nation and receives substantial credit for the
recognition that Allegheny County has received as a
national leader in progressive thinking about
recovery-oriented care.

Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh
was recently voted “America’s most livable city” by
"Places Rated Almanac" and is a city of great vitality
and variety.
The
renaissance in recent times has made it safe, clean and
fun. With a wealth of affordable housing options it is
one of the nation's most diverse architectural
communities.
The city is
the site of many major corporate headquarters, yet
retains its small-town friendliness.
Nestled in
the Allegheny Mountains at the confluence of three major
rivers, the "City of Bridges" abounds in natural beauty,
with many parks and recreational sites.
Pittsburgh is
a city where all young professionals can find a
lifestyle that best fits their needs. Within walking or
short driving distances, there are many parks, hiking
trails, water sports, microbreweries, restaurants, clubs
and quaint stores.
As a center
for culture and the arts, Pittsburgh is second-to-none
for a city its size. For sports fans, the city offers
the major league thrills of Steelers football, Penguins
hockey, and Pirates baseball.
An ethnically
rich city, Pittsburgh has retained its neighborhoods and
small communities with surprises everywhere.
