We are a unique hybrid fellowship program, incorporating both Clinical and Clinical Health Psychology training into a combined curriculum. The fellowship is designed to help you develop professional skills and knowledge needed to provide a broad range of psychological services to diverse rural populations within multidisciplinary medical setting.
