Richard Dopp, M.D., Clinical Associate Professor in U-M’s Department of Psychiatry and Consulting Psychiatrist for MC3, recently announced his decision to leave Michigan Medicine, effective October 31, 2024.

Dr. Dopp has been a long-standing staple of the Child Psychiatry faculty, joining Michigan Medicine 23 years ago as a resident and fellow before practicing Child & Adolescent Psychiatry for 17 years. During his tenure, he has supported U-M’s care of youth with depression and mood disorders, engaged in research demonstrating the benefits of exercise for youth with psychiatric disorders, and served as an MC3 provider and educator. 

MC3 greatly appreciates the tremendous impact Dr. Dopp has had on the program, with notable contributions including:

• Serving as a Consulting Psychiatrist since MC3 launched in 2012
• Providing ongoing education to MC3’s network via consultations as an educational materials developer and presenter
• Contributing to the development of the MC3 Pediatric Psychopharmacology Cards

MC3 and U-M faculty are saddened to lose Dr. Dopp as a colleague, but incredibly grateful for his immeasurable contributions to the treatment of youth psychiatric disorders in the state of Michigan. 

Following his departure from Michigan Medicine, Dr. Dopp will take on an expanded role as Medical Director for the University Center for the Child & Family and the University Psychological Clinic through the Mary A. Rackham Institute at U-M, while also supervising mental health nurse practitioners at the Mala Child and Family Institute. 

MC3 wishes Dr. Dopp great success in his future endeavors and offers heart-felt thanks for his expertise, impact, and exceptional service over the years.
