What is the Fellowship?
Project BE-AHEAD provides the opportunity for students to receive training, supervision, and practicum experience in evidence-based interventions and integrative behavioral health-primary care services. The project offers a stipend to support internship work in specified integrative healthcare settings. Collaborative relationships have been developed with integrative healthcare sites welcoming the opportunity to work with psychology/counselors in training.
The Fellowship commitments include seminars relevant to training in integrated healthcare services. In addition, each Fellow will enroll in a health psychology course offering training in evidence-based approaches effective in address mental and behavioral health concerns. Group supervision is designed to further build skills in case conceptualization, diagnosis, and treatment planning. Individual supervision fosters skill development through exploration of the supervisee’s clinical cases. Fellows will attend case presentations in early December and present cases in the spring. The dates and times for these presentations will be announced. Program Fellows will complete surveys at the beginning and end of their Fellowship year and post-graduation as part of their participation in the program.
Fellowship selections will be based upon fit with the program goal of training integrative healthcare professionals. Interested? Deadline for applications is September 17, 2018. Faculty will be interviewing applicants on October 11, 2018. Please email applications to Dr. Debra Alvis, Project Manager at dalvis@uga.edu.
