MAHPP fellows enjoy a robust didactic curriculum weekly on Monday afternoons designed to facilitate deepening education and expertise as clinical health psychologists. The two-year, rolling curriculum is presented by members of the MAHPP core faculty, adjunct faculty, and guest speakers. Fellows from other Flint-area community fellowship programs also attend the Monday afternoon didactic series, which additionally facilitates peer support, collaboration, and networking. Fellows have protected time from clinical duties in their schedules to attend didactics. The curriculum consists of a core clinical health psychology series, rehabilitation psychology series, psychopharmacology, diversity committee, leadership and management, and wellness. Didactics are provided at an advanced level, consistent with the training experience of fellows, and often are case-based and interactive.
In addition to the Monday afternoon didactics, fellows have the opportunity to attend didactics given within the Department of Family Medicine allowing fellows to be fluent in medical language, culture, and residency training, and to develop relationships with their medical peers.
