Our primary purpose is to provide quality clinical training to psychology doctoral students as they enhance delivery of psychology services for underserved persons in the context of rural community mental health centers. Interns operate as integral members of their respective sites and provide a broad range of clinical services to underserved individuals.
Interns learn about and experience the complexity, challenges, and opportunities encountered in community mental health centers, which are critically important for increasing access for individuals who are often most in need of psychological services.
Interns in the FHSDIP will grow their confidence in providing generalist clinical services and working in the context of multidisciplinary teams.
