Shane D Gallagher's additional information

Shane Gallagher, DNP, PMHNP-BC is a clinical assistant professor at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. His research interests include evidence-based interventions for substance use disorders and developing the multidisciplinary addiction workforce.


Gallagher is a co-investigator on a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) grant-funded, multi-site, randomized implementation trial examining strategies for engagement with medication for opioid use disorder after hospital discharge. He provides technical assistance and practice facilitation to interdisciplinary, hospital-based, substance-use treatment teams across New York state. He is a co-investigator on the NYU Multidisciplinary Addiction Training (MAT) program at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. The project team is developing an innovative program to train non-physician clinical trainees and new graduates who plan to enter the addiction workforce.


Before joining NYU Meyers, Gallagher had over a decade of patient care experience in two academic medical centers. He started as a care coordinator at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, working with interdisciplinary chemotherapy operations teams. He then became a registered nurse on the gastrointestinal oncology service, working on inpatient and outpatient units. He was a full-time psychiatric nurse practitioner at Bellevue Hospital, working on the inpatient psychiatry units and consultation-liaison service. During that time, he developed a formalized clinical training program for psychiatric nurse practitioner graduate students. He maintains a clinical practice at Bellevue hospital, seeing patients across the lifespan.


Among his many honors, Gallagher received the 2021 award for overall distinguished DNP graduate at New York University. He was inducted into the Sigma Theta Tau Honors Society in Nursing at Columbia University in 2015.
