The internship conducted by Psychological and Neuropsychological Services at Sparrow Hospital, a level one regional trauma center, is located in Lansing, Michigan. Interns will be conducting services on both an in-patient and out-patient basis, and will be required to undergo a hospital accreditation procedure in order to become an allied health professional. This unique internship serves a diverse ethnic population includes Latinos, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotian, Filipinos, Arabs, Anglo-Americans, African Americans, and several other ethnic groups of European origin. The interns will be able to treat various psychological conditions and observe psychological disorders at many levels of severity and stages. Psychological conditions include such disorders as personality, eating, phobic, pain related disorders, anxiety, mood, schizophrenia, depression, and adjustment. Neuropsychological conditions included dementia, Multiple Sclerosis, stroke, cognitive disorders, Alzheimer’s, Guillain-Barre, delirium, and amnesic/memory disorders. Services are provided to children, couples, families, individuals and group.
The internship program of Psychological and Neuropsychological Services provides the intern with a unique training experience addressing both psychological and neuropsychological conditions in both the out-patent and in-patient settings. This internship will allow the intern to further develop their clinical interview, treatment and assessment skills. The intern will treat individuals, families, children and co-facilitate group therapy.
Besides the direct patient contact, the intern’s training will consist of weekly research seminars conducted by the site Director of Research. Interns will be required to present at least four reviews of current literature as it pertains to the intern’s interests. On a weekly basis the interns will participate in grand rounds, and will offer a presentation at grand rounds.
The interns will be exposed to other professional interns/residents including those of occupational, physical, and speech therapy; social work, physician’s assistants, and medical students. Besides the daily contact with other interns, on a weekly basis the interns and other professionals will interact at patient case conferences. Interns will receive both group and individual supervision at least four hours a week.
At the current time Psychological and Neuropsychological Services offers two full time positions and one part time. Full time positions consist of 2000 hours of training over 12 months and the part time position is 2000 hours over 18 to 24 months. No internship positions are pre-allocated to any specific university program. Applications are encouraged from all geographical areas, cultural backgrounds, and life experiences.
Applicants for internships must have an advanced standing in a clinical, counseling, rehabilitation, or neuro psychology doctoral program approved by the American Psychological Association. All applicants must receive the written endorsement of their program Training Director as having completed all departmental requirements for internship. All applicants should have a minimum of 500 hours of clinical practicum experience, but 1000 hours is preferred, and currently holds a limited license to practice psychology in the State of Michigan. A formal agreement and working relationship will be established between the academic institution of the intern and the Director of Training to allow for mutual feedback.
Interns should have an adequate background in
psychology at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Course work should
include courses in learning and motivation, abnormal psychology, developmental
psychology, social psychology, cultural issues in psychology, physiological
psychology, psychological assessment (projective and non-projective),
psychotherapy, neuropsychology, and ethics.
The interns should be aware that the internship is located at a regional medical
center, and will require reading and writing (charting) of in-patients medical
records. Familiarity with medical terms and abbreviations will be helpful, but
not a prerequisite. Interns must be able to function as members of a
multidisciplinary team.
Psychological and Neuropsychological Services is an Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages applications from members of minority and non-traditional age groups. Psychological and Neuropsychological Services does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, color, national origin, age, or handicapping condition in its selection process.
This internship program places great emphasis on the quality of supervision provided to the intern. Psychologists who are serving as supervisors have a strong commitment to training. In many cases, and early on in the internship, supervision hours may be as high as 6 to 8 hours a week. This is especially true with the in-patient population. Due to multiple supervisors, during the internship year, the intern will be exposed to a variety of psychological orientations, approaches to conceptualizing psychopathology, assessment, and clinical interventions. Although full licensed psychologists provide the majority of supervision, interns will also receive training from physicians, psychiatrists, neurologists, or other members of the medical or treatment team.
The internship positions, both full and part-time are paid at the rate of $12.50 per hour (must have limited license). Interns may take up to 10 days of vacation (unpaid) and up to 8 (unpaid) holidays (religious holidays based upon the intern’s faith will be accommodated). Sick time is accrued at the rate of one hour per 20 of work. Regardless of time off, the intern must accrue 2000 hours of clinical experience within one year for full time and in 24 months for part-time.
The pre-doctoral Clinical and Neuropsychology Internship Program subscribes to an apprenticeship model of clinical training, which encourages the growth of individual strengths, and skill development. The internship provides a variety of teaching styles and professional models that emphasizes the development of the scholar-practitioner. Specific goals include the following:
Further development the intern’s skills of psychological and
neuropsychological assessments and interviews
Further development the intern’s psychotherapy skills, addressing a wide
range of client populations and disorders.
Observation of experienced professionals employing various theoretical
constructs.
Development of leadership and consultative skills within a medical center
setting, as part of a multi-disciplinary treatment team.
Increased appreciation for, and integration of, the ethical and
administrative considerations involved in clinical issues.
Professional development through lectures, seminars, and workshops.
To develop an increasing awareness of the role of diversity in the
treatment of psychological conditions.
To assist the intern in making the transition from student to
professional, facilitating the intern’s role as an independent practitioner.
To assist the intern in developing a sense of professional identity and
responsibility
To assist the intern in writing professional documentation of assessment
and treatment.
