Train New Trainers (TNT) Fellowships
The UCI School of Medicine TNT 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.

Expansion and Optimization of Healthcare Delivery
Access to Advanced Training
Primary care and general medical providers, including pediatricians, often receive limited formal training in “primary care-based” psychiatry. They may benefit from targeted resources and training, with focus on prevention, accurate diagnoses, and effective treatment of commonly encountered conditions. TNT Fellowships are non-traditional and provide training outside of customary clinic or business hours.
