Department Description
One of the largest departments within the School of Medicine, the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, has a broad mission encompassing research-basic, translational, and clinical-teaching, patient care, and public service. Spanning across all major UCSF sites, including Parnassus, Mission Bay, ZSFG, VAMC, and the Dogpatch campus, the Department boasts an organizational structure that is expansive yet complex. Its uniqueness stems from housing the only state-originated and funded institute at UCSF-Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute-which operates a separately licensed hospital, the Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital (LPPH). The Department, with its annual operating budget exceeding $130 million and staffing around 800, includes approximately 200 paid faculty (inclusive of VAMC faculty), 25 emeritus and recall faculty, 30 MSP physicians, 110 residents, fellows, and postdoctoral scholars, 450 staff, and 225 volunteer faculty. In the coming five years, the Department anticipates significant transformations, which includes at least doubling its clinical services. This strategic shift includes relocating its headquarters and the ambulatory clinics of the LPPH to a new building and aligning operational processes to integrate with UCSF Health systems, allowing the Department to adopt the funds flow model. The University of California San Francisco Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences will develop and implement California's Child Youth Behavioral Health Initiative Behavioral Health (BH) Consult Program, as part of the state's Master Plan for Kids' Mental Health. The BH Consult Program aims to advance health equity by increasing access to quality, evidence-based, culturally responsive mental and behavioral health care for all of California's children and youth 0-25. Through consultation, education and training, primary care providers will deepen and expand their knowledge, skills and confidence in addressing behavioral health needs in accessible, lower stigma primary care settings. The statewide program will be a substantial expansion of UCSF's Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Portal, a pediatric mental health access program established in 2019. Expansion will include establishing additional partner satellite hub sites throughout California, developing partnerships with professional clinical training programs i.e. pediatric and family medicine residency, child & adolescent psychiatry fellowship, nurse practitioner, social work, public health and other related training programs. Part of the program's near-term expansion includes development of a novel tech-enabled consultation platform and also expansion to satellite hub sites across the state. The team is comprised of multiple physician, psychologist and social work staff who provide consultation, training and care coordination, as well as team leaders and administrative support.
