National Psychology Training Consortium

The National Psychology Training Consortium (NPTC) is a non-profit organization based in Springfield, Missouri. It is a collaborative consortium of psychological service centers located throughout the United States. The NPTC employs 18 people and generates approximately $9 million in annual revenue. The NPTC provides doctoral psychology internships focused on serving rural and underserved patient populations. Their mission is to train and prepare future psychologists to work effectively in these communities. They achieve this through partnerships with various psychological service centers across the country. What sets the NPTC apart is its unique focus on rural and underserved communities. By providing training opportunities in these areas, the NPTC addresses a critical shortage of mental health professionals in these regions. Since its founding in 2003, the NPTC has trained and prepared over 400 interns and residents, making a significant impact on the availability of mental health services in underserved areas.
