Integrated Care Internship Program

The George Fox Integrated Care internship is a paid, APA-accredited training program within a primary care/medical setting.

You’ll gain training and experience within the complex environment of primary care medicine, serving as an integral part of a medical team of interprofessionals who collaborate on patient care.

Your internship will mirror real-world scenarios, and you’ll develop skills in assessing and treating a wide range of presenting problems, from mood disorders through the psychosocial variable influencing complex medical conditions. Our interns provide services to a broad range of patients from diverse backgrounds.

We are pleased to announce that our program is APA-accredited

We had a successful site visit in 2022 and are excited to announce that the consortium received a full 10-year accreditation. Our program is fully accredited through 2032.

Application for Internship

Our internship participates in the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) Match and is considered “partially affiliated” with George Fox University. This means that while it exists as a training resource for George Fox University Graduate School of Clinical Psychology students, each year we take students from other programs as well. We value the training and perspectives students from other programs bring, and the shared learning that results.

This internship is best suited for applicants interested in Primary Care Behavioral Health, and we encourage students who are bilingual and/or come from diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply. We strive to create a welcoming, supportive learning environment for all interns, including diverse and underrepresented communities.
