The Mental Illness Research, Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC) at
the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare; System (VAPHS) is recruiting clinical
psychologists and other associated health clinicians for a 2-year
clinical research; fellowship program. The primary goal of the
fellowship program is to train clinicians to become leading clinical;
researchers in measurement-based healthcare, with the aim of improving
the mental and physical health, quality of life, and outcomes of
healthcare services for Veterans with mental illness. Within the broad
concept of measurement-based care, our MIRECC specifically focuses on
the following aspects: validation and incorporation of biomarkers,
incorporation of patient preference in treatment decision making,
development of tools to implement measurement-based care, and the
development of treatment algorithms and decision aids.; Program
Description: This interdisciplinary program aims to train clinical
psychologists, nurses, social workers and other associated health
clinicians to become outstanding clinical researchers in high priority
areas of mental health. Individualized, mentored research and clinical
training is combined with a state-of-the-art curriculum that emphasizes
research methods, statistics, epidemiology, mental health systems,
quality improvement methods, education, and service delivery. Training
in professional skills includes manuscript preparation, grant writing,
project management, and the responsible conduct of research. Fellowship
sites across the national network of VA Advanced Fellowship training
sites are linked electronically for didactic, academic, and research
efforts. Fellows devote the majority of their time to patient-oriented
research and education activities and 25% to direct patient clinical
care. In; collaboration with their mentors, fellows will develop and
implement a research project, publish and present findings, participate
in grant writing, and utilize the latest technology for educational
activities and clinical service delivery.; Psychology applicants must
have obtained a doctorate from an APA-accredited program in clinical or
counseling psychology and have completed an APA-accredited internship in
clinical or counseling psychology. Fellows must be U.S. citizens. The
VA funds the associated health professional stipends in amounts based on
VA national standards with locality adjustments for cost-of-living in
the area. Fellows will also receive a secondary appointment at our
academic affiliate, the University of Pittsburgh.; Faculty: Mentees

Pittsburgh in addition to VAPHS. Available research mentors (and
