CARD is a non-profit, outpatient, Department of Public Health licensed, mental health clinic affiliated with the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Boston University.

Administrative responsibilities include contributing to the ongoing development and implementation of CARD policies and procedures to fulfill compliance with Department of Public Health regulations for outpatient clinics. The Medical Director also conducts medication and health status consultations to determine patient eligibility for participation in sponsored research programs. Many of our studies additionally require medication management for active study participants. Opportunities also exist to develop an independent line of related research.
