Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Perinatal Mental Health and Integrated Care
Jumpstart your professional career in perinatal and integrated care with national innovators in the Department of Psychiatry, Lifeline for Families Center, and Lifeline for Moms Program at the UMass Chan Medical School. This research-focused post-doctoral fellowship will work on a project that integrates mental healthcare and community support into perinatal health care settings that have not traditionally provided mental health care. More information about the study can be found at this link. The post-doctoral fellowship is for two years with potential for an 18-month extension depending on project needs.
Fellows will work on the implementation and evaluation of two multi-component intervention arms to increase screening, treatment, and follow-up of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders in outpatient perinatal care settings. Project leads are working with state-level Perinatal Psychiatry Access Programs in a train-the-trainer model to increase scalability of the interventions.
The projects team members are pioneers in the fields of psychiatry, psychology, community-based psychosocial interventions, obstetrics and gynecology (Ob/Gyn), and pediatrics, leading paradigm-shifting work focused on addressing perinatal mental health. Together, we have collective experience, expertise in womens mental health and perinatal health, and deep relationships with community partners, including medical societies and policymakers. In collaboration with these community partners, our faculty develop, implement, and test interventions that increase access to, and engagement in, evidence-based mental health care for families. Throughout the Department of Psychiatry and the Lifeline for Families Center, we are deeply committed to integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion into our interventions, protocols, and approaches from their inception. Thus, there are many opportunities for equity focused research. Prior and ongoing projects at the Lifeline for Families Center focus on:
The Fellow will receive training in integrating systems-level interventions into obstetric practice to better meet the needs of pregnant and postpartum individuals and children, and how to expand and augment integrated care. Fellows will primarily work with Nancy Byatt, DO, MS, MBA, DFAPA, FACLP, the Executive Director of Lifeline for Families and Chris Sheldrick, PhD. Fellows will also have the opportunity to work with Tiffany Moore Simas, MD, MPH, MEd, FACOG, the Chair of the Dept of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Gina Sullivan, MD, Sarah Palmer, MD, and Thomas Mackie, PhD (UMass Amherst). Fellows are encouraged and supported to obtain their license after their first year of training.
