The mission of the Residency in Primary Care Optometry at Womack Army Medical Center is to provide advanced clinical training for military optometrists with emphasis on ocular disease and trauma, medical / therapeutic contact lens fitting, and primary vision and eye health care, allowing the resident an increased professional capacity to manage a diverse and complex patient population.

The mission of the Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) Vision Rehabilitation (Brain Injury Rehabilitation) Residency Program is to provide advanced clinical training for military Optometrists in the diagnosis, treatment and vision rehabilitation of patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) in a multidisciplinary hospital-based setting while enhancing traditional primary and acute eye care.

The Womack Clinical Psychology Internship Program (CPIP) is an American Psychological Association (APA) accredited doctoral internship located at Womack Army Medical Center in Fort Bragg, N.C.  The primary goal and mission of the program is to produce highly qualified, resourceful, autonomous professional psychologists who will be able to develop the competencies and professional identity that will serve as a solid basis for an Army career.

The Clinical Psychology Residency Program (CPRP) is designed to prepare psychology residents to be competent providers of psychological services in support of individuals, families, and organizations within the U.S. Army.  Training is based on a practitioner-scholar model and espouses the premise that specific training goals should be directly related to career outcomes.  We prepare each resident for a career as an Army clinical psychologist—essentially a dual career, that of military officer and professional psychologist.  Training is guided by a competency model approach which focuses specifically on ensuring that the individual resident meets a minimum threshold expected of an independent and advanced specialty practitioner of clinical psychology across nine core and specialty-specific competency domains (described further below).   Sound performances on prescribed benchmarks measuring these domains are expected to prepare the resident to meet eligibility criteria for board certification in Clinical Psychology.

The mission of the Social Work Internship Program is to provide a formal training program designed to give social work interns an opportunity to build on their military social work skills. This training program is designed to enhance social work interns in becoming a Social Work Officer assigned to either a Brigade Behavioral Health Section, Area Medical Support Company or a Combat and Operational Stress Control Detachment. This training will expose the non- independently licensed active duty social worker to key areas of practice within the military social work career field. It is a great opportunity for interns to refine, reinforce, and apply concepts and skills learned during their Master of Social Work (MSW) program. The intern benefits from an experience that teaches him/her about social work, the military culture, and provides preparation for independent clinical licensure.
