Dr. Lagrone has worked as a child and adolescent psychiatrist for five and a half years.  Following a brief foray into emergency telepsychiatry, most of that time has been spent at Dell Children’s and the Dell Medical School teaching and doing clinical work as an assistant professor. 

"I like to focus on operational improvements, such as creating a cost-benefit analysis to justify the need for a medical assistant in our clinic, which we hired this year.  Sometimes looking at what is not working is the first step to creating a process that does work (in this case, improving recruitment). 

I was named Teacher of the Year for the child and adolescent fellowship program in 2020.  I hope that means that I can encourage our residents and fellows to participate in research efforts and improve our recruitment numbers.

Depending on the results, TX-YDSRN will allow us to create the evidence base for Measurement-Based Care in treatment of child and adolescent depression and suicidality, thus improving outcomes throughout the state and hopefully globally as well."
