ISU Family Medicine Site Description
The Idaho State University (ISU) internship program is a collaborative training opportunity with two partnering clinics, providing a diverse training experience in a family medicine primary care and university counseling setting: ISU Family Medicine (ISUFM) and ISU Counseling & Mental Health Center (CMHC).
ISU Family Medicine (ISUFM) is an interdisciplinary teaching and training site at ISU, and the clinic has partnered with Health West Community Health Center, a federally qualified health center (FQHC) to provide clinical services to the area, serving as a training site for clinical psychologists, family medicine physicians, clinical pharmacists, psychiatrists, physician assistants, and nurses, providing a rich training environment. Interns provide traditional psychological services such as individual counseling and diagnostic assessments, focused on the adult and geriatric populations, to a diverse population from all over Southeastern Idaho. ISUFM has a strong commitment to teaching and to providing services to our underserved population.
Counseling & Mental Health Center (CMHC) is the mental health center for ISU students. While at ISU CHMC, interns will have the opportunity to provide individual counseling and group counseling to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as other optional training opportunities in biofeedback or supervision. We also provide outreach and prevention education and consultation to the campus community. Our clients are from a variety of backgrounds, and they seek help with a wide variety of concerns.
Founded in 1901, Idaho State University attracts students from around the world. ISU offers high-quality education in more than 250 programs and is the state’s designated lead institution in health professions. ISU is a Carnegie-classified doctoral research institution.
