The internship begins July 1 and ends June 30. The internship is designed to meet the growing need for psychologists to work in health care rather than traditional mental health settings. The program offers a challenging opportunity to develop clinical skills in all areas of patient care. To provide broad clinical experience and training, the internship offers two primary training components. Training experiences include child and family adjustment assessment, treatment and consultation-liaison.
Interns participate in case conferences and multidisciplinary medical rounds.
Interns attend and present clinical findings at case conferences and medical rounds, e.g., pulmonary rounds and chief of service rounds. Consultation to medical staff is a major component of this work. Pediatric Psychology Training Experiences Training experiences have been established in order to provide concentrated experiences in working with specific pediatric populations. Several of these rotations overlap. During each experience, the intern works closely with the multidisciplinary team involved.
