Residency and Traineeship Program
A core element of the Ohio Deparment of Mental Health's (ODMH) clinical quality agenda is supporting the evolution of a workforce possessing the knowledge, skills and abilities to provide high-quality services and high-performance leadership. This is critical in the continuing development of community systems of care throughout Ohio.
Recruitment and retention of professionals to work in the public mental health systemm is closely linked to experience gained and expertise fostered in ODMH-supported residency and training programs. Local systems and organizations also benefit by the linkages created between educational institutions and mental health agencies, boards, advocacy groups and other organizations as a result of the residency and training programs.
