The federal government, through the Bureau of Health Professionals, awarded 18 grants to fund graduate psychology education. Projects aim to train psychology students as health service providers in an interdisciplinary setting serving underserved populations. The 5 clinic directors noted below are working on GPE grants.
Louisville Integrated Primary Care Training Program
Our project is an interdisciplinary collaboration between our PSC and the Ambulatory Internal Medicine Primary Care Clinic in the med school. It integrates primary care and psychological services to underserved and economically disadvantaged individuals and involves the combined training of pre-doctoral clinical psychology graduate students and internal medicine residents in social/behavioral bases of medicine and psychopathology.

approach to mental health care. In addition to their psychology training, graduate students will be exposed to year-long didactic and experiential instruction and training from representatives within psychiatry, family practice and social work. The goal of this training is two fold: 1) to increase the quality of care provided by students in training and 2) to encourage students to work with underserved populations in their future careers.
