Program Description

Puget Sound Psychiatric Center (PSPC) Pre-doctoral Internship Program offers a comprehensive training experience in Clinical Psychology. Our training program offers a total of three positions within outpatient clinic. The full-time Pre-doctoral Internship will begin on July 1, 2018 and end on June 31, 2019.

PSPC, established as a private entity in 2002, provides psychiatric and psychological treatment and services, which includes medication management, psychotherapy, assessment, educational programs. PSPC also engages in clinical research through a sister institution called Pacific Institute of Medical Sciences. In 2013, PSPC has established a Psychiatric Residency program and obtained an initial American Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) institutional accreditation. Along with the combined services that are based on a “system of care” philosophy dedicated to provide multi-system solutions in the mental health field, PSPC has established itself as an independent academic institution dedicated to train future clinicians in the field. PSPC provides training for psychiatric residents, physician assistant and nurse-practitioner students as well as pre-doctoral interns and post-doctoral fellows of clinical psychology.

We envision our interns as critical thinkers in today’s modern and dynamic era of mental health field.  We are dedicated to equip our pre-doctoral interns with the comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge that encompasses the biological, psychological and social perspective while treating the patients with behavioral and emotional issues.  We intend to cultivate the research interest in our interns and to prepare them for effective critique of the published research. Whether it is formal didactic seminars, presentations, or clinical case conferences, our commitment to effective learning is clearly expressed theme in every year of training.

We believe, each intern brings with them unique set of strengths and viewpoints and our program gets stronger by valuing a diversity of opinions and interests.  With this in mind, we are continually refining the program to meet the educational needs of our interns.

We are delighted that you are interested in our training program. Please explore our website www.pspctraining.org to get more information or email the Training Director at max@pspc.org.
