Associate Professor Alison Yung MD, MBBS, MPM, FRANZCP, Grad Dip Epidem, is a Consultant Psychiatrist and Principal Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne Department of Psychiatry and ORYGEN Research Centre. She has been involved in early psychosis, in both clinical and research fields, since 1993 when she was a Senior Psychiatric Registrar at the then newly founded Early Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Centre (EPPIC) in Melbourne, Australia. In 1994 she established the Personal Assessment and Crisis Evaluation (PACE) Clinic, a clinical and research centre which manages young people at incipient risk of developing psychosis, that is, thought to be in the initial prodromal phase before a first psychotic episode. This was the first clinic of this type in the world.
