Thank you for celebrating with us!

75th Anniversary Events

Our 75th celebrations and activities allowed us to unite as faculty, staff, trainees, alums, department partners, supporters, and community.

We celebrated past accomplishments, reflected on missed opportunities, and imagined what could be possible for the department’s next 25 years.


 

Neilly Author Series 2022-2023

Dedicated to the Department of Psychiatry in celebration of our 75th Anniversary.

 


The Network Project

Our social networks influence our well-being in multiple ways (see work of our own Peter Wyman, PhD, using social networks for suicide prevention). Extrapolating on this work, alumni, faculty, and staff participated in a first-of-its-kind departmental social network project!
We constructed visualizations of our departmental network, which were shown at our 75th Anniversary celebration in September 2022.

I am so grateful to have learned the biospychosocial approach from mentors who worked with George Engel and John Romano. I utilize the biopsychosocial approach in every aspect of my care of patients. - EJ Santos, MD, Associate Professor, URMC
