Summer in Mexico, June 6 - August 14, 2010. Dr. Steven Lopez at USC's Department of Psychology, Dr. Carmen Lara at the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) in México, and colleagues at USC, UCLA, and California State University at San Bernardino have established an 11-week summer research training program designed to prepare undergraduate and graduate level researchers to address disparities in mental health care of U.S. Latinos with serious mental illness. The program includes a one-week training seminar at USC, and a 10-week training program at the Medical School at BUAP in Puebla México.  For more information, click here.

If you would like to participate, please RSVP by Friday, January 8, 2010. Please include the following in your RSVP:
