Brief description of the typical work day for an intern at this training site The overall goal of Framework's psychology internship program is to prepare interns to become competent and autonomous clinical psychologists. Interns will develop skills and knowledge in the areas of diagnosis, assessment, consultation, treatment, as well as professional and ethical issues. Interns are expected to think critically not only about the services they offer to clients but also about the clinical decisions that they make. As such, interns are expected to develop core competencies in the following areas: Assessment (to develop competence in assessment, diagnosis, case conceptualization, and to provide recommendations for treatment and interventions); Consultation and Interprofessional Collaboration; Intervention; Professional Ethics and Standards; Cultural Diversity; as well as Professional Development. We are committed to the scientist-practitioner model. Interns within our program are encouraged to anchor their clinical service in a thorough review of existing scientific literature and evaluate their interventions systematically.
