External Training Contracts & Evaluations
Some doctoral programs require their students to have additional training contracts and evaluations completed by their internship programs. The University of Rochester; Department of Psychiatry’s Health Service Psychology internship does not enter into training contracts with academic programs, and our supervisors do not complete evaluations developed by other academic programs. As an APA accredited internship, our interns receive comprehensive evaluative feedback throughout the training year using instruments based on APA guidelines and customized to our program. Evaluation summaries are provided to academic programs at the mid-point and end of the training year. If you are enrolled in an academic program that requires additional training contracts and evaluations, you are strongly encouraged to consult with your Director of Clinical Training as to whether or not you are eligible to apply to our program.
