About Us

Strategic Plan
2023-2028

The Semel Institute and Department of Psychiatry have developed a Strategic Plan to ensure we progress and develop with thoughtful intent. As such, a diverse and collaborative group of Institute and Department leaders, over many months, crafted our guiding principles and priorities for the 5-year period of 2023-2028.

Strategic Plan Mission

The Department of Psychiatry/Semel Institute at UCLA provides world-class research, education, service, and outreach geared towards serving the mental health needs of California’s diverse communities. By 2028, we will develop and grow the following:

1 Inclusive and well supported recruitment and career development for clinicians, research scientists, educators, faculty, and trainees.

2 Strong department-wide communications and collaboration.

3 Visionary and service-oriented working relationships across the UCLA campus and with national, state, local agencies, and community partners.

4 Robust and effective infrastructure that supports our integrated mission.

5 Innovative and transformative interdisciplinary research, training, and clinical practice.

6 Equitable care and improvements to mental health and wellbeing.
