This presentation describes the partnership between Community Health of Central Washington (CHCW), HealthPoint, and the National Psychology Training Consortium (NPTC) to develop APA-accredited doctoral internship and fellowship programs within the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model. Presenters will outline the multi-year journey of building an academic training infrastructure inside community health centers and how this transformation strengthened PCBH services, leadership development, and organizational culture. Attendees will receive a practical blueprint for developing training programs, including curriculum design, supervision structures, and strategies for graduate retention in integrated and underserved settings.
