Oak Street Health is part of CVS Healthspire™

Start your Social Work career in the Future of Healthcare.

Oak Street Health’s new graduate Behavioral Health Specialist training program in the revolutionary collaborative care model in a value-based setting, which rewards healthcare companies for the quality of their care, not the quantity. This 12-month paid training program will provide all the necessary skills, support, and learning required to become a highly confident and competent clinician for older adults. 

The program will include time spent building your knowledge of evidence-based interventions and psychotropic medications, earning clinical supervision hours from a licensed clinical social worker, and engaging in didactic content that aims to build on, not repeat, graduate training. All fellows will work at Oak Street for 12 months following the completion of this program, but we hope will spend their careers at Oak Street improving the health of communities across the country.
