I was drawn to URMC’s internship program because of the broad range of training opportunities and diverse rotations (inpatient, outpatient, research and group therapy) which will allow me to grow and further expand my clinical skills. Their focus on training, interdisciplinary care and multiculturalism, as a Latina, will help me enhance my skills as a bilingual future clinician. Their emphasis on providing an individualized experience was important to me when choosing an internship site and they provided that, as well as room to practice different evidenced-based treatments. I’m excited to be part of URMC’s training program this year to further my professional development.
