Rotations

 

We provide a well-rounded pediatric psychology experience and offer several year-long simultaneous rotations to choose from (four to five rotations per year and some are offered as a six-month rotation.)  

 

Interns are expected to select at least one rotation from the assessment, inpatient, and outpatient therapy options and may choose to focus their rotation choices.  Interns may select certain rotations to learn new skills and fine tune previously experienced skills.  All interns are expected to conduct at least two therapy groups during their internship year. 

 

Interns will have approximately 18-25 clinical contact hours per week.
