Dear Colleague,

We have extended the review period and continue to solicit applications for the position.

The APA-accredited program, established in 2008, follows the practitioner-scholar model with an emphasis on clinical training incorporating rural mental health, integration of diversity, social justice, and evidence-based practice. Students are actively encouraged to develop their research skills through formal publication of research findings and more informal integration of research in clinical practice. Faculty are expected to maintain an active research program and are encouraged and supported in doing so. Area of research is open.

 

Additional goals of the program include:

• Faculty members are readily available to students for discussion and interaction
