Additional Rotation And Training Experience
Dialectical
Behavior Therapy (DBT) Training Center for Behavioral Medicine has
a DBT program which consists of a multidisciplinary consultation team, skills
groups, and individual therapy. Interns may participate in this program throughout
the year regardless of their rotation commitment. As part of the DBT program, an
intern would have the opportunity to become involved in facilitating groups,
providing individual therapy, and participating in weekly consultation team meetings.
Supervision would be provided by a licensed psychologist who is also
on the DBT consultation team. In addition, the team receives consultation and
support from the statewide DBT training coordinator.
Health
Psychology Interns have the opportunity to spend time in health psychology-related
services at Truman Medical Center in such areas as pain management, employee wellness, sickle cell, asthma,
and women's health.
Teaching Psychology staff members are regularly involved in the teaching and training of
medical students and psychiatric residents on topics such as Systems of Psychotherapy,
Assessment Methods, and Psychotherapy Skill Development. Interns will participate
in teaching by preparing and providing lectures as assigned by the Training Director.
Outpatient Psychotherapy Interns are required to carry a caseload of two or three weekly psychotherapy cases throughout the training year. The interns have the option of obtaining cases
for this experience from TMC BH (adult or child) or CBM group homes.
