UC Irvine Fellowships & TPCA Scholarships

Strengthen Your Skills and Optimize Behavioral Health Care in Your Primary Care Practice


TPCA is excited to offer a limited number of scholarships for three fellowship programs designed for primary care providers and led by the University of California, Irvine (UCI) School of Medicine. The UCI School of Medicine Train New Trainers Fellowships are clinically practical, evidence-informed certification programs specifically designed to address the most frequently encountered medical/psychiatric conditions seen in the primary care setting.

    
Each fellowship program includes more than 50 hours of required training (including two mandatory in-person sessions) and will lead to a certificate of completion from the UCI School of Medicine.
   

TPCA Scholarships

TPCA will provide 45 scholarships to eligible prescribing providers to attend these three fellowship programs.
