Health Service Psychology Doctoral Internship

 
2025-2026 Health Service Psychology Doctoral Interns (L: Adult Track R: Child Track)

About the Internship

The internship year serves as the transition between doctoral study and professional life and we have developed an internship program that supports each intern’s growth during this pivotal time. Our internship program is comprised of two tracks. The Adult track includes five positions with different emphasis or specialty areas (Deaf Wellness, Lazos Fuertes, Heath Psychology, SMI, and Geropsychology) and our Child and Adolescent track offers four positions with specialized electives.

Interns achieve track-specific expertise through a variety of clinical and didactic experiences and also benefit from core learning activities shared across tracks and other disciplines. While the year is primarily focused on expanding interns’ theoretical understanding and clinical use of numerous evidence based treatment modalities, we also focus on topics related to ethical and nondiscriminatory practices, and career development and the job market. In 2024, we received the Program Excellence in Training Award from the Clinical Child and Pediatric Training Council (CCaPPTC) which noted our unique, trainee-centered education across both the child and adult tracks. We are proud of this comprehensive training program, the supportive clinical supervision and sustained academic mentorship provided by our outstanding faculty, and our warm and welcoming city. Our internship start date is August 1st. As you explore this site in greater detail, please feel free to contact us with any questions that arise.
