Julie Ranz, MD
Dr. Julie Ranz was director of the Public Psychiatry Fellowship at NYS Psychiatric Institute/Columbia University Medical Center from 1992 to 2017, and continues as a member of the fellowship core faculty. The Public Psychiatry Fellowship is generally acknowledged to be the premier program of its kind in the country. In the past decade, twenty other public/community psychiatry fellowships have been created, most of them modeled on the Columbia program as outlined in the “Core Elements of a Public Psychiatry Fellowship, published in Psychiatric Services in 2008. During this time Dr. Ranz has created a network of directors of these programs, which meets yearly at the Institute for Psychiatric Services. He is senior author on five publications describing aspects of that network, and has encouraged six of the fellowships to publish articles describing their individual programs. He has published numerous results of surveys of Fellowship alumni, as well as of several surveys of AACP and AAPA members.
Dr. Ranz was principal author of an article published in Psychiatric Services in 2006, written by the Mental Health Services Committee of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry, which utilized APA data to demonstrate that early- and mid-career psychiatrists now spend more time in publicly-funded organizational settings than in solo office practice. A follow up paper, pursing the implications of the above paper, describes the results of a 12 site study conducted by Dr. Ranz, working with that same committee: "A Four Factor Model of Systems-Based Practices in Psychiatry" was published in Academic Psychiatry in 2012.
In recognition of his long career as a public psychiatry educator, Dr. Ranz received the 2013 APA/NIMH Vestermark Psychiatry Educator Award.
Dr. Ranz is currently senior advisor at Community Healthcare Network (CHN) an FQHC that, with his assistance, has created two unique Nurse Practitioner fellowships, one for family NPs and a second for psych NPs. Using his experience in the Columbia fellowship, he is playing a central role in the implementation of the psych NP fellowship. He is also serving as mentor/coach to both psychiatrists and NPs serving as early career program medical directors at CHN.
