A one-year, full-time or two-year, half-time internship is required for graduation. Students are expected to apply for APA-accredited internships, although they may apply for APPIC- or CAPIC-accredited internships with the express permission of the Director of Clinical Training. The internship should provide students with the breadth and depth of experience necessary to ensure the level of professional competency in health service psychology expected of new licensees. Expected activities include assessment, clinical interviewing, case formulation and treatment planning, and intervention. Additional responsibilities may include such professional activities as outreach, consultation, and program evaluation. The internship will also include additional learning experiences, individual and group supervision, and further socialization into the role and identity of a professional psychologist.
