Doctoral psychology internship program

The purpose of the psychology internship program is the preparation of psychologists for practice in public mental health settings and diverse communities with underserved populations and serious mental health conditions. Interns gain a broad range of generalist skills for practice as a health service psychologist, while also exploring their emerging professional identities through alliance with a specific interdisciplinary community treatment team throughout the internship year.

The standard training program is a full-time (40-44 hours per week) internship, to be completed over 12 months. Interns accrue 2000 pre-doctoral training hours. The program begins each year on the first Wednesday after the Labor Day holiday and concludes on the last business day of August.
