Welcome to Penn State Psychiatry

The Department of Psychiatry website is currently being restructured by institution strategic missions (patient care, education, research and community) that serve the needs of our internal staff, external users, prospective employees, patients, and other care giving personnel in the institution. Please check back regularly as updates/additional information will continue to be posted.

The Central Pennsylvania Regional Autism Partnership, an ASERT center, was established in December of 2008 through a generous grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Welfare’s Bureau of Autism Services. In establishing the ASERT centers, the Bureau is intending to create three regional centers for Autism Service, Education, Research, and Training (ASERT) as a cost-effective way to address the chasm between research and quality diagnostic and intervention practices. The establishment of these three centers is a direct result of the work of the Autism Task Force, which recommended development and funding of regional centers as a means to leverage work from the research community.
