Davis Behavioral Health, Inc. is committed to being a vital part of the community. One way through which DBH has been able to assist members of the community is to provide internship and practicum opportunities for students in Social Work programs at accredited universities. DBH is an approved placement site for several colleges and universities, including, but not limited to Weber State University, University of Utah, Utah State University, University of Southern California (USC), University of North Dakota, and Boise State University. Currently, our undergraduate and graduate internships/practicums are limited to students who are pursuing a bachelor of social work (BSW) master of social work (MSW) degree, and students enrolled in a psychiatric nurse practitioner program. DBH also works with the University of Utah and A.T. Still university for psychiatrist resident placements.

Students are required to provide DBH with all of the contact information for the practicum advisor at your academic institution so that we can determine if we are able to meet the requirements as both an agency and that our staff are able to meet the requirements and obligations to be a field supervisor.

Practicum/internship opportunities at DBH are competitive so that we can not only provide the highest quality educational experience to our interns, but also ensure that they are a good fit for DBH as the agency historically offers employment to many interns upon graduation.
