Brief description of the typical work day for an intern at this training site Each day varies! A combination of the following: training seminars, individual therapy, group therapy, staff meeting, case consultation, outreach presentations to various populations, consultation with students/faculty/staff. It's hard work and we are very committed to and passionate about what we do. We also like to smile/laugh when possible and connect with each other in doing our work. We're also actively working to recruit externs for the 2024-2025 training year and plan to integrate a supervision component for interns at that time!

Interview process description:

While we previously offered primarily in person interviews, we will offer only online interviews going forward.  We believe that online interviewing will provide a more equitable process while providing a great chance to get to know one another. The interview day is likely to last about four hours and we are looking to interview people in either the morning or afternoons.  We are expecting to use the second two weeks in January for interview days, but this timing may evolve.
