Internship

Training
Goals
The internship year,
July 1 through June 30, provides a one-year full time clinical psychology

is provided by the core faculty, but other professionals in allied disciplines
also participate. Interdisciplinary exchange is strongly supported.

community consultation with children and adolescents of various backgrounds

while completing required professional documentation.

one year-long and two half-year clinical research programs.
