Training Experience

 

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.

Supervision

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.

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.
