PH 545B - Optimal Functioning: Psychophysiological Applications in the Community, School, Sports, and Workplace Practical Experience


Students need to learn how to present the concepts and value of behavioral medicine techniques to a variety of audiences if they are going to be able to use their new skills in their clinical environments because patients need to be attracted to programs, other clinicians need to understand how behavioral medicine fits into clinical treatment programs, and administrators need to understand the economic and clinical value of the techniques. Once sufficient credits are accrued to have completed four quarters, each student must give at least two talks each to people representative of (1) the public, (2) clinicians, and (3) administrators before they can graduate. Talks are planned with the assistance of the student's advisor and a brief outcome report of each talk must be approved by the advisor before credit for the talk can be given. 1 credit(s)
