This program’s purpose is to develop clinical rotations for primary care Physician Assistant (PA) students in rural areas. These rotations must be at least three months long. They will integrate behavioral health with primary care services. This program addresses PA training for behavioral health conditions. These include prevention, identification, diagnosis, treatment, and referral services. The goal is to increase the number of PAs trained to deliver these services in rural areas, including Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD).
