About us
Mentors and consultants are available from a wide range of experts both at UR and the VA VISN 2 Center of Excellence for Suicide Prevention (VA CoE)(www.mirecc.va.gov/suicideprevention/), as well as through an international network of UR/CSPS collaborators. Based at the University of Rochester Medical Center, one of the largest academic health systems in New York State, the UR/CSPS fellowship is associated with (but not identical to) the VA Advanced Fellowship in Veteran Mental Health and Suicide Prevention; prospective fellows may apply to both fellowships.
The emphasis of UR/CSPS research is on the development and testing of interventions across the full spectrum of approaches to suicide prevention - universal, selective, and indicated - and in a variety of vulnerable groups including adolescents and older adults, victims of violence, Veterans, and individuals with medical, psychiatric, and social comorbidities. Faculty and fellows are currently engaged in projects that target populations across the life course. While ours is a research fellowship, opportunities for clinical work that contribute to a fellow's program of research (and contribute to licensure) are also possible.
