At mid-year, each intern's two supervisors are invited to join the case conference to hear the intern present a case with focus on assessment and treatment planning. At the end of the year, each intern presents a case that has prompted the intern's professional growth to the Training Committee and professional staff in a Final Case Conference. The SCS established its pre-doctoral internship program in 1973 and since that time 93 individuals have completed the program. In November 1980, the SCS received accreditation as an APA internship training site, and in 1998 the internship was awarded full five year re-accreditation. Enjoying strong administrative support, the program is well organized and has a clear philosophy.
Staff provide quality supervision and maintain collegial relations with interns.
Also commendable is the program's demonstrated commitment to issues of ethnic and cultural diversity. The current interns are available and would be glad to talk with you about their perceptions of the internship program. Interns are accorded full benefits associated with faculty-staff status. In addition, interns are provided the opportunity to attend professional conferences and workshops, and they are provided some monetary support for both travel and registration costs. Summary We believe that our internship program is both challenging and unique.
