Program Description

Primary placement at the Priority Behavioral Health Internship Program at the College of Health Science and Technology (CHST) of RIT offers training in both the areas of assessment and evidenced-based interventions for clients in community mental health facilities, school based clinics and/or for offender populations diverted from corrections and criminal justice settings into mental health and/or substance abuse treatment.

CHST’s Priority Internship program across clinical and community psychology represents a cooperative endeavor between the School of Behavioral Health at CHST and the following clinical placement sites:  Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester Regional Health Care System, Hillside Family of Agencies, and Coordinated Care Services Inc. Interns have the opportunity to work with nationally and internationally recognized experts in mental health treatment, substance use research and forensic psychiatry. This placement affords experiences in the use of advancements in technology, use of evidenced-based clinical assessments & interventions, forensic assessments, and scholarly achievements. Our training and education program is dedicated to developing the next generation of leaders in the field using innovative and advanced technologies (e.g, telehealth and technology assisted interactive tools for clients), a trademark of RIT. Our main mission is to train our fellows to deliver the best care in the most comprehensive and efficient manner while assessing client-centered satisfaction and improvement in health.  RIT is ranked in the United States News and World Report as “top 10” in outstanding programs offered and has gained a global reputation for advancements in innovation, science and technology across the healthcare field. Such advancements have helped us grow our programming to include a recently built family medical practice on campus in collaboration with Rochester Regional Health. It has also led to the development of a School of Behavioral Health, a Behavioral Health Clinic on campus and a formal clinical psychology internship program.
