You will have the opportunity to interview with two faculty members regarding your professional interests and to receive answers to any questions; individual requests for interviewers will be considered.

We host an optional and informal virtual social engagement with current faculty and interns the night before the Interview Day as well.
The Clinical Psychology internship at Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical is a military internship with the United States Air Force. The training emphasizes intervention and assessment practices that are well-supported by empirical literature. Extensive training provided in cognitive behavioral strategies, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy via workshops and a weekly Evidence Based Practice Lab. In addition to traditional training in assessment and therapy, we offer state of the art programs in clinical health psychology, primary care consultation and evidence-based treatment for PTSD (Prolonged Exposure & Cognitive Processing Therapy). Interns learn frequently utilized assessment strategies and tools for a variety of common and military-related neurocognitive concerns. They gain invaluable experience in crisis intervention and triage, and provide psychological consultation to organizational leadership regarding fitness for duty of individual military members. Additionally, interns will learn how to utilize a scientist-practitioner approach to address population health issues during our yearlong Population Health seminar.
