Doctoral Psychology Practicum Students

Counseling/Clinical Psychology Practicum Students

The Latrobe Family Medicine Residency Program welcomes doctoral level practicum students. There are a variety of opportunities available for learning about integrated health care. Each student will meet with the Director of Behavioral Sciences to develop a learning plan consistent with individual career goals. It is highly recommended that students commit to a minimum of two semesters of training to maximize learning opportunities and for continuity of care.

Some of these opportunities include:

Individual therapy within the family medicine outpatient office
Teaching family medicine residents about psychological components of patient care
Providing supervision to family medicine residents after reviewing recorded patient encounters
Providing group support to address resident wellness
Integrated care with family medicine physicians, residents, and other members of the team
Psychopharmacology training with a psychiatrist
Bariatric assessments
Outreach opportunities
Consultation with all members of the medical community
Interviewing medical students as applicants for family medicine residency
Residency curriculum planning (behavioral health training, community medicine, diversity)
Collaboration with other practicum students and doctoral level interns

Interested students should send a letter of interest, CV, and three references to: Michele Mattis, Psy.D. Michele.Mattis@Independence.Health
