Clinical Psychology Doctoral Internship

Catalog description

The pre-doctoral Clinical Internship is a formal requirement of the program. It is considered an essential component of doctoral training in Clinical Psychology. Accreditation of training facilities by the APA is considered as desirable as it is for academic clinical training programs. Therefore, students should make every effort to obtain placement in an APA approved internship setting that is part of the APPIC Match. The internship will usually consist of twelve months of fulltime experience, although this program makes provision for and fully recognizes the need of some students for halftime training over a two-year period. The program will fully endorse such halftime internships for those students for whom it is necessary and appropriate, but it is the student's responsibility to find settings that are hospitable to such an approach to Internship training. May be repeated one time.
