The social work internship program through integrated behavioral health (IBH) provides a clinical experience in social work, while embedded in a pediatric primary care setting. We focus on candidates with a strong background in cultural humility and issues related to equity and diversity. We are interested in supporting students throughout their internship experience while working from an equity lens, while remaining committed to educating and supporting students who reflect the diversity of patients and families we serve.
With continued demand for mental health providers, specifically for children and adolescents, we are committed to training the next generation of mental health providers to provide quality, evidence-based interventions in a comfortable setting at their pediatrician’s office.
