Precision Depression Care: PGx Effects
The Department is pleased to welcome David Oslin, MD as our Special Guest Lecturer on January 27, 2023. Dr. Oslin is Professor of Psychiatry and serves as the Vice Chair of Veterans Health and Executive Director of the Stephen A Cohen Military Family Clinic at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. He also directs the VISN 4 Mental Illness, Research, Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC) and serves as Chief of Behavioral Health at the Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA
Dr. Oslin’s research portfolio includes studies aimed to improve access to behavioral health intervention care, improving treatment outcomes for addictive disorders, and the study of pharmacogenetics. Specific projects include an adaptive treatment study of naltrexone to develop strategies for maintenance treatment and for non-response to treatment. Two studies examine endophenotypes associated with alcohol craving, subjective high and intoxication. Two other studies explore improving access to treatment for alcohol misuse with a focus on brief interventions and care management services. Additionally, Dr. Oslin continues research on the implementation and dissemination of evidence based practices for integrating primary and mental health care.
