Integrations

For trainees who have completed the two-year course sequence of the SF-PPTP, we also offer an optional third year course, Integrations. Taught by highly experienced faculty, Integrations is a case conference and focused reading seminar, with articles selected collaboratively by the instructor and the group in response to the clinical material that is presented.

Applications for the Integrations program will be posted here in early 2024.

For all questions regarding Integrations enrollment and curriculum, please contact Curriculum Chair Ruth Simon at ruthsimonphd@gmail.com or Acting Outreach Chair Beth Steinberg at besteinberg@comcast.net.
