Doctoral interns become part of collaborative recovery-based, interdisciplinary treatment teams. We value our active learning environment, require participation in our 12-month, 2100-hour mandatory training schedule, and encourage participation in a multitude of additional specialty trainings, facility and community-based leadership activities, and informal facility and community-based social activities. While the current pandemic situation may limit face-to-face activities, we are working to learn through, provide services through, and teach through a variety of telehealth and virtual options.
