Dr. Brittany Gouse’s MD MPH is the Assistant Director of Boston Medical Center (BMC)'s specialty psychosis clinic, the Wellness and Recovery After Psychosis (WRAP) program, and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Boston University (BU) Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. She completed a joint MD/MPH degree through the SUNY Upstate Medical University/Syracuse University and her residency in adult psychiatry and fellowship in Public Psychiatry at BU/BMC. Her fellowship focus was on the care of individuals living with schizophrenia and other forms of psychotic illness. Clinically she sees patients in WRAP program and specializes in clozapine and long-acting injectable antipsychotic treatment.

Dr. Gouse's clinical and research focus is on schizophrenia. She is a psychiatric epidemiologist whose research broadly focuses on modifiable factors that drive the 15-20 year mortality gap in schizophrenia. She was selected for the BU Clinical and Translational Science Institute KL2 Career Development Award (2023-2025) and the American Psychiatric Association Research Fellowship (2023-2025). She founded the Advancing Coordinated Care through Epidemiologic Studies (ACCESS) Initiative, which aims to improve outcomes in early psychosis through electronic health record and geocoding data.

Her advocacy efforts are focused on increasing access to evidence-based treatment in the early psychosis period, particularly the early use of long-acting injectable antipsychotics and clozapine to reduce the risk of premature mortality following the onset of psychosis. She served on the APA Council on Research (2023-2025) and as a Chair of the Public Sector Commitee of the Massachusetts Psychiatric Society (2021-2023).
