Rosalind De Lisser, PhD, FNP, PMHNP
Dr. de Lisser is an Associate Clinical Professor at the UCSF School of Nursing Institute for Health & Aging, a health services researcher, and a dually board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with over two decades of clinical experience. She is the Lead for Psychiatry and Addiction Treatment at the UCSF Women’s HIV Program, where she is deeply committed to providing trauma-informed integrated behavioral health care. She has dedicated her career to public mental health, interprofessional education and practice, and workforce development through academic leadership, educational innovations, and the building of academic practice partnerships.
Dr. de Lisser uses her expertise in trauma-informed care to inform her research which is broadly focused on promoting equity in emotional well-being. Her recent transition from academic education and leadership to health services research stems from the completion of her PhD dissertation titled “Work environment, psychological safety, and burnout: A mixed-method exploration of nurse practitioner experiences.” This workforce-oriented study explores the impact of structural inequities on marginalized groups in the health workforce using a social ecological framework, “The Social Ecology of Burnout,” which underscores the need to confront oppressive systems to realize and promote empowerment towards wellbeing for all health workers.
Dr. de Lisser's research interests include behavioral health workforce, equity in workforce wellbeing, silence behaviors at work, integrated trauma-informed mental health care, and human-centered design. Her research focuses on expanding access to mental health care and promoting well-being in the work environment.
