Abstract
Applied psychological services are being implemented into the primary care treatment milieu to improve patient treatment and reduce health care costs. Unfortunately, few psychologists have training specifically oriented to working in this setting. A predoctoral training program wherein psychology graduate students may obtain practicum experience working in a student health center on a university campus is described. The theoretical underpinnings of this training are based on the integrated primary care models of K. Strosahl (1997) and K. Strosahl, N. Baker, M. Braddick, M. Stuart, and M. Handley (1997), which emphasize integration of psychological and medical treatment, brief intervention, consultation, and expedited referral for longer term cases. Though many issues remain, integrated primary care offers promise for improved health care.
