Tracks

We provide a well-rounded psychology training experience and offer several year-long simultaneous tracks in which the interns participate.  These include assessment, outpatient individual, family, and group therapy, and inpatient consultation/liaison. 

Interns are expected to participate in assessment, inpatient consultation/liaison, and outpatient therapy options each week.  Interns may select to spend more time each week in certain tracks over others 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 14-18 clinical contact hours per week.
