Program Description

General clinical child/adolescent psychology internship in a Children's Hospital, with additional training opportunities in Pediatric Psychology and Neuropsychology. All interns will have involvement in all services but those desiring postdoctoral fellowships in these specialized areas will gain additional experience to be competitive for these programs. Non-rotational internship: interns will be involved with outpatient therapy, assessment, and inpatient consultation-liaison all year long, changing placements and/or supervisors at six months to include other experiences. Interns also participate in a community placement when available for additional consultation experience, which may include a community agency, parent education/training, or private practice pediatric clinics (placement availability varies each year). Interns are expected to complete 4 formal presentations each year: psychology topic presentation, research presentation, multicultural case presentation, and community presentation. We have two primary campuses, with two interns in Minneapolis and one in St. Paul, interns travel between campuses for didactic seminars (unless through videoconferencing) and have frequent contact with each other (mileage is paid).
