Our psychology internship features rotations in both inpatient and outpatient settings; individual and group supervision in adult and child assessment and intervention; clinical and didactic seminars; and an opportunity to pursue clinical research activities.

THE PRIMARY GOALS OF THE PROGRAM ARE TO:
Develop and consolidate clinical skills in psychiatric assessment, conceptualization, and evidence-based psychological interventions
Provide broad clinical experience within multidisciplinary treatment and research teams located within a university-based medical center
Prioritize multicultural training through a cultural humility framework, with an emphasis on increasing awareness, knowledge, and skills that will improve clinical care and practice and facilitate the conduct of impactful research
Consolidate and enhance skills in clinical psychological science and supplement the clinical experience with adequate time and resources for empirical exploration of a specialty area
Our mission is to reduce the negative impact of psychiatric illness through training the next generation of mental health care providers and clinical scientists. We identify the clinical internship year as an important capstone experience that launches our trainees towards careers where they successfully apply empirically supported treatments and/or conduct innovative research that advances the field of clinical science.

We strongly believe that building a training environment that values diversity and is committed to improving representation in psychological science is crucial for enhancing clinical effectiveness and stimulating innovations in clinical research. Consistent with this, our program seeks to train interns in cultural humility, multicultural clinical competencies, and is focused on increasing the participation of underrepresented populations in clinical medicine, biomedical research, teaching, and service.
