About the Program

Our program offers a one-year structured fellowship training in Primary Care Clinical Health Psychology. Our program began in 1987 and has consistently trained psychologists to assume leadership positions in primary care, medical education, and health psychology positions.

The fellowship provided me the hands-on training, didactic instruction, and most importantly, the confidence to practice independently in a medical environment. The mentorship relationships I established at Genesys were of immense value-- I keep in contact with my supervisors to this day.
Aaron J. Grace, PsyD (2012)
