“We are committed to advancing inclusion and belonging across all populations.  Mental Health intersects with all aspects of our society, and we are committed to ensuring that all populations are included in our tripartite mission. Through our efforts in clinical care, education and research, we strive to advance the understanding and treatment of psychiatric disorders for all individuals. We are committed to addressing disparities in access to mental health services and to building an inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve across all levels of faculty, trainees, and staff.” Department of Psychiatry

Vision Statement:

Our Department of Psychiatry at WashU Medicine endeavors to preserve a culture of collaboration, affirmation, and inclusion for all individuals within our department. We are pioneers at the forefront of research, education and clinical care. This is in large part due to our collective belief that innovation and progress in psychiatry thrives by bringing together people who have a variety of backgrounds, experiences and areas of expertise.

  • We advocate for equal and equitable access to high-quality mental health care and treatment for all individuals in the communities we serve.
  • We are committed to being agents of change who dismantle the mental health inequities and reduce stigma.
  • We acknowledge that to accomplish this bold mission our department must reflect the rich representation and talent of both our community around us and the broader global society.
  • We foster an inclusive environment and encourage individuals of all backgrounds to consider employment within our department, regardless demographic identity.
