OMID is proud to play a role in shaping the future of mental health care by offering training opportunities for emerging professionals. Our clinical training program provides hands-on experience for graduate-level students and associates in a supportive and culturally conscious environment.
To date, we have trained over 150 mental health clinicians who have gone on to serve their communities.
Training Opportunities Include:
- Master’s-level MFT, MSW, and PCC trainees and associates seeking supervised clinical experience
- Doctoral students in psychology (clinical, research, child, neuropsych, forensic) looking for psychotherapy, assessment, and research training
Our program is flexible and adaptive to the unique strengths and interests of each cohort. We value applicants who are bilingual and interested in delivering services in more than one language, in line with our mission to serve linguistically diverse populations.
If you are interested in completing practicum or associate hours with OMID and want more information, please contact our Clinical Training Director, Dr. Tanvi Patel, at tpatel@omidinstitute.org.
