The program offers specialized training in primary care behavioral health integration, chronic pain rehabilitation, immigrant/refugee health, and evidence-based behavior therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

The fellowship will prepare psychologists to provide a broad range of behavioral health services in primary care and outpatient mental health clinics.
