Training postdoctoral fellows in mental health services within health systems
Embedded Mental Health Services Postdoctoral Research Training in Health Systems
This program is designed to help new researchers learn how to improve mental health care by using data from health systems that care for millions of patients, so they can work together with experts to find better ways to support people’s mental health.

What this research studies
This program trains postdoctoral fellows in embedded mental health services research, utilizing a network of 21 health systems that serve over 30 million patients annually. The training focuses on leveraging electronic health records and administrative data to improve mental health care delivery. Fellows will work closely with experienced researchers and health system leaders to address critical mental health questions and enhance service transformation. The program aims to create a collaborative environment that integrates research with clinical practice.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation include postdoctoral fellows interested in mental health services research and its application in health systems.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in the training or research processes may not directly benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved mental health care practices and outcomes for patients across various health systems.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research within similar embedded mental health service frameworks has shown promise in improving care delivery and patient outcomes.
