The Clinical Psychology Program Four interns are accepted into this one-year program conducted by the Division of Psychiatry. By focusing on broad training in clinical psychology, the Clinical Psychology internship primarily prepares interns for careers as practitioners in medical or applied practice settings. We adhere to the scientist-practitioner model of psychological practice. Clinical training experiences follow the apprentice model. Each intern is supervised by faculty members directly involved in providing clinical services to specific patient groups within the medical center.
Interns function with a good deal of autonomy, assuming junior level staff responsibilities.
Clinical experiences are of primary importance in the internship with particular emphasis placed on learning behavior change methods for use with medical patients. Faculty frequently use the cognitive behavioral model in psychotherapy although other treatment methods with empirical support are encouraged. Selection Procedures Eligibility - Four interns are accepted each academic year. Preference is given to applicants from APA accredited clinical psychology graduate programs. All qualified applicants regardless of race, color, sex, marital status, age, religion or national origin are encouraged to apply.
