Applicants will be notified about the interview via email. Virtual interviews will be required in order to provide a more equitable interview process. Virtual interviews can be scheduled via APPIC's online interview scheduling system. Interviews are individual and are approximately 60 minutes with two supervising psychologists. Questions will be provided immediately prior to the interview. Following the interview, applicants will also be afforded the opportunity to virtually speak with a current psychology intern. An optional in-person Q&A and on-site tour will be made available by current interns should that be helpful in the applicant's internship decision making process. Choice of attending the in-person Q&A and tour will not impact the internship site's ranking process. Interviews will be conducted between January 9th - 24th, 2024.
Interns are involved in a wide range of clinical training activities. The internship training program provides opportunities for interns to develop new skills, as well as to refine skills they have acquired through graduate training. Through the internship program, interns develop proficiency and competency in the areas of assessment, individual and group counseling, parent and teacher consultation, behavioral assessment and intervention, crisis intervention, developmental screening, educational interventions, in-service presentations, and research. As The School serves children from varied ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as students with varying educational and psychosocial needs, interns are provided with diverse training experiences. Each intern receives a minimum of two hours per week of regularly scheduled formal face-to-face individual supervision and two hours of group supervision. Supervision is provided by doctoral-level staff psychologists who are licensed in New York State. Interns attend a weekly didactic seminar and literature review provided by staff members and professionals in the community. Additionally, interns participate and collaborate in weekly multidisciplinary team meetings.
