Interns will first serve as group co-leaders with a senior staff person, and then may lead a group alone or with another intern. Often, interns' special interests will determine which groups they lead. Intake Evaluations . Interns will perform intake evaluations on a weekly basis. These evaluations are fundamental to determining the clients' needs, including urgency, the appropriateness of referral to another agency, and the assignment of a permanent therapist.
Interns have the opportunity for professional involvement in a variety of campus activities.
These include, but are not limited to, presenting structured workshops, giving class lectures, consultation with residential living area staff, and consultation with Student Health Service physicians, student organizations, and university faculty. Qualified interns, if they wish, may supervise practicum students during the second semester. University Residential Living . Interns provide clinical services three hours per week in the evening, and occasional workshops for individuals and families living in university housing. During the summer months each intern will choose a clinical rotation, either in a psychiatric unit of a hospital or a mental health center on an Indian reservation.
