RAMS offers two formal clinical training programs and ongoing training sessions.  As part of our commitment to maintaining and further enhancing the professional development and cultural competence of staff, interns, and trainees, RAMS coordinate various clinical trainings & presentations, case conferences, didactic seminars, and group discussions at which local, nationwide, and internationally renowned experts present on various clinical and cultural topics.

RAMS Clinical Training Programs are designed to provide interns and trainees with the generalized professional practice skills.

While receiving didactic and supervisory training, our trainees function as integral members of RAMS Outpatient Services staff. Because of the rich diversity of the client population and treatment team, trainees have the opportunity to hone their clinical skills while developing professional sensitivity to issues of culture, ethnic identity, religion, class, disability,
gender, and sexual orientation.

Every year we accept 15 to 20 clinicians-in-training into our programs, giving preference to students who have an expressed interest in cultural competence and the vision of working with minority population.

In addition, we offer practical training for vocational counseling students, psychiatric residents and nurses.  RAMS also collaborates with mental health institutions and universities in China, Japan, and Russia and has hosted International Exchange Clinical Training Programs.
