The Pennsylvania Psychiatric Leadership Council was established with initial funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for the purposes of establishing several Centers of Excellence in medical schools throughout the Commonwealth to train psychiatrists to work with people with psychiatric challenges who receive publicly funded services. The Council meets several times per year and addresses issues relevant to its mission and other topics which are of interest to the Public Mental Health System in Pennsylvania.
