Applications are accepted from third year and beyond graduate students in Clinical or School Psychology programs who have met their program requirements to apply for internship, have 1000 hours of practicum experience, at least 500 of those hours with children and adolescents in clinics and community or school settings, evidence of research potential and productivity during graduate school, interest in training and career goals consistent with a scientist-practitioner orientation, and interest in public service with urban, poor families. Priority is given to students from APA-approved programs.

Applications from disciplines other than Clinical or School Psychology will be reviewed if practicum experience and training and career goals are consistent with those of the program. Applicants should send the APPIC Uniform Application in addition to an updated CV. Applicants should arrange to send three letters of recommendation (including a letter from the Training Director of your graduate program), and transcripts of graduate credits. The letter from the director should indicate that the applicant is in good standing and has completed all requirements for the doctoral program except the dissertation and internship.

THE DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF APPLICATIONS IS NOVEMBER 17, 2000

Completed applications will be reviewed by a committee of faculty to identify candidates with goals for internship which closely match the program’s goals. Last year we invited 27 candidates to interview for 5 positions from a pool of 110 completed applications. This year we plan to invite a similar number of candidates to one of the full-day interviews being held in December and January.

Letters of recommendation should be addresesd to:

Marc S. Atkins, Ph.D.

Director of Child Psychology Training
