The UCFMW Minor Rotation is offered through the Department of Family Medicine at The University of Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå School of Medicine. The primary objective of this program is to teach interns how to function as BHPs within primary care settings. At the completion of this rotation, trainees will be able to: 

1. Rapidly conduct functional assessments of patients’ presenting problems to identify short- and long-term goals that align with patients’ values and PCP’s referral requests. 
2. Provide appropriate levels of care to all patients ranging from 1-time consultations to brief episodes of psychotherapy/behavioral health interventions to coordinating outpatient mental health care. 
3. Describe the rationale, process, and results of a quality improvement initiative within UCFMW.

The rotation supervisor is well versed in evidence-based approaches to interventions in primary care, medical specialty, and traditional mental health settings. Trainees can expect to gain exposure to and expertise in behavioral activation, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and health behavior change assessment and intervention.​

The intern will receive a minimum of 1 hour of supervision per week.  Some of this supervision is individual and some will be completed as part of a precepting model where you will have the opportunity to work with the supervisor with patients individually and learn from how they work and then discuss approaches to best serve those patients before and after encounters.​

Our patient population includes insured and underinsured patients from a large variety of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.
