Program Description

The mission of the O'Grady Residency in Psychology Program is to prepare future leaders in psychology through excellent training in evidence-based clinical care, research, supervision, and advocacy. We are committed to providing the highest quality of supervision and training, fostering the development of candidates from a diversity of backgrounds, and, serving the needs of children, adolescents, and families. The program is committed to a scientist-practitioner model of training where clinical practice is informed by evidence (research) and research is generated by the desire to improve the care of children and families. Training emphasizes developmental, interdisciplinary, and family-centered approaches and a scientific basis for psychological assessment and treatment. To access details about our program, please visit the website.

The internship provides broad training in psychology, with interns focusing their training through participation in one of three tracks: the Behavioral Medicine Track, Child Clinical Track, or Acute Care Track.

Behavioral Medicine Interns gain experience with children/adolescents with sleep disorders, chronic pain (including headache/migraine), gastrointestinal disorders, medical/surgical issues, epilepsy, diabetes, and chronic illness concerns within outpatient therapy, multidisciplinary-clinic, inpatient consultation liaison, and/or primary care settings. There are also opportunities to enhance assessment skills (neuropsychology, cardiology).

Child Clinical Interns gain experience conducting ADHD assessments, treating youth with a range of behavioral and mental health difficulties and who have experienced trauma or neglect (e.g., PCIT, TF-CBT), and delivering evidence-based group treatment for youth with ADHD. Other experiences may include multi-disciplinary evaluation of toddlers with neurodevelopmental concerns, epilepsy clinic, assessing and treating sleep disorders, and primary care.

Acute Care Track Interns gain experience working within psychiatric inpatient, intensive outpatient, outpatient, and medical clinic settings. There are opportunities to treat youth with a range of behavioral and mental health difficulties (internalizing and externalizing concerns, PTSD), to provide mental health services to gender expansive youth, to conduct assessments, and to co-lead DBT Skills Group. All interns complete a research placement based on their interests with the goal of contributing to the field in the form of an abstract or manuscript. Some examples of research placements include: Treatment Adherence, Child Behavior and Nutrition, Sleep, Chronic Pain, Child Welfare, Early Childhood Prevention, and ADHD.

Diversity is integrated in all aspects of our training (i.e., clinical, research, supervision, professionalism). Additionally, we also have a dedicated diversity seminar series and provide protected time (4 hours) for interns to participate in a community presentation or engagement project during their training year.
