Program Description

*UKCC is pausing the doctoral internship and is not recruiting for the 2022-2023 cohort.  Plans for 2023-24 are to be determined and will be posted here and on the website.  

The overall aims of the training program are as follows:  To prepare entry level generalist professional psychologists for practice in health service psychology through    1) the development of competencies in clinical practice, outreach, consultation, and supervision,  2) the development of scientific and professional knowledge, identity, and ethical integrity, and  3) cultivating a commitment to diversity and the provision of culturally competent services and professional relationships.  

The training program will achieve this aim through a combination of training seminars, experiential learning, peer consultation and supervision. The experiential-developmental-apprenticeship training model focuses on the developmental nature of intern growth, and utilizes mentoring, experiential learning, and the integration of scholarly work into practice. An essential component of the UKCC training program is to prepare the interns to integrate scholarly knowledge, research findings, and critical thinking into clinical practice and clinical decision-making as part of their regular practice. We encourage the consumption of scholarly research as well as consultation with supervisors and peers during internship, and with peers while moving toward independent licensure.

Seminars include Clinical and Professional Issues, Multicultural, Outreach & Consultation, Supervision, and Case Presentation. Interns will co-lead interpersonal process groups and participate in group supervision of group, and they may lead an ACT for anxiety group or another group offered at UKCC. Interns willk shadow a staff member in a liaison relationship with a deparment on campus, and conduct a consultation project with a department on campus.  Interns will have 2 hours of individual supervision and 2.5 hours of group supervision each week, as well as attend staff meetings, staff inservice trainings and staff case consultation meetings weekly.
