Interview process description:

After the November 1st, 2023, 11:59 pm EST application deadline, our selection committee will review all completed applications. We will then contact applicants we consider for interviews by email to schedule a standardized, 45-to-60-minute, zoom/phone interview to be held between December 4 and 15, 2023. We do not offer on-site interviews. All of our interviews are conducted by Zoom, but phone interviews can be conducted upon request. Candidates who are no longer being considered for interviews will be notified by e-mail by December 4, 2023. Two members of the CAPS staff will be present in each interview. Prior to the interviews, we will email a vignette to the applicants. During the interview, applicants are asked general questions regarding their training and work experience as well as vignette-specific questions. Applicants are invited to attend one of two "interns-only" meetings to explore internship experience at CAPS. This is an optional meeting and will be held via Zoom. The dates of these meetings will be determined at a later date. When we contact candidates to schedule an interview, we will notify them about the dates, and provide Zoom links to these "interns-only" meetings so that applicants can self-select which meeting to attend. We encourage our applicants to contact the Director of Training to ask questions at any time during the application process. The Director of Training would be glad to answer questions from the applicants and have them connected if indicated, with our current or former interns to assist an applicant to gain further insight into our training program.

Program Description

Our training program is a 2000-hour internship program that mentors interns in developing profession-wide competencies and an identity as professional psychologists. The program combines (1) direct services such as clinical work, mental health promotion, and consultation, with (2) supervision and (3) didactic/experiential learning components such as seminars and/or in-service training. Our training model is developmental where learning experiences initially include more support and direction from licensed staff and move toward providing increased independence to our trainees. Our diverse, multi-disciplinary staff offers a variety of theoretical approaches but highlights personal strengths, mindfulness, relationship building, relational-cultural theory/therapy, diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice, the process of psychotherapy, and other evidence-based treatments. Interns are valued as important contributing members of the CAPS family, and we view the interaction between our system and the individual trainee as an important source of learning. One goal is to facilitate a process of integrating the personal self with the professional self. This includes factors such as knowing one's strengths and growth areas, maintaining an awareness of one's impact on clients and colleagues, developing/maintaining cultural humility, managing stress levels, setting realistic professional goals, and striving toward a healthy balance in one's life. Finally, we promote psychologists to become integrated members of the agencies and communities in which they serve, work, and live. Here at OSU, we work hard to ensure that CAPS is an active and visible presence on campus, and we work collaboratively with other departments. Interns will have opportunities to work and interact with staff, faculty, and students across the campus community.
