"We care deeply about the integration of psychology into the health care system at large, and highly value interdisciplinary care. Under the close mentorship of our accomplished faculty, the internship year provides a unique opportunity to build your confidence, step outside your comfort zone, and start finding your voice. Trainees are essential to our institution, and we rely heavily on their feedback for enhancing our program. We look forward to getting to  know you!"
Renee Madathil, Ph.D., CBIS  Director, Psychology Internship - Adult Track


Interns in the Adult Psychology Track participate in a multitude of learning opportunities that help them establish foundational knowledge and skills in general clinical training, preparing them for careers in patient care, teaching or research. Diverse clinical opportunities develop interns' competence in assessment, treatment planning, and treatment implementation amongst diverse patient populations. Interns participate in several didactics throughout the year to support their learning, have the opportunity to serve in the role of supervisor to other trainees, and may engage in leadership roles based on individual learning plans.
