The internship currently accepts 12 interns each year. Accordingly, interns selected for this program should have considerable supervised clinical practicum experience as well as demonstrated interest and ability in conducting research beyond that required by the Masters Thesis and the Doctoral Dissertation.
Faculty have many theoretical orientations, but the majority are behavioral or cognitive-behavioral.
Thus, it would be helpful for interns to have a background in behavioral and cognitive-behavioral theory, and experience in implementing these intervention strategies with clinical populations. As a part of the application process, each candidate must be interviewed by the faculty of the Program. Interviewees also meet with one or more current interns. We have found that this important step in the selection process allows the applicant to be maximally informed about the internship and helps the selection committee select interns who match well with the Program. The internship selects a relatively large number of applicants for interviews.
