Program Description

The Adult Internship in Clinical Psychology is a full-time, one year commitment with a focus in Neuropsychology.  A minimum of two Interns are admitted to the Training Program each year.  The training follows a scientist-practitioner model of professional development. The Internship commences on July first (or the first weekday following July first, if that day should fall on a weekend) and ends on the last weekday of the following June.  Interns typically spend forty hours per week in professional activities related to their Internship.  Eighty percent of this time is devoted to clinical responsibilities with a strong focus on neuropsychology (e.g., neuropsychological assessment, adult psychotherapy, supervision and didactics) and twenty percent to research activities (within our Alzheimer's Disease Research Center). Interns receive a minimum of three hours of individual supervision and two and a half hours of group supervision weekly.  Didactics are comprehensive with a particular focus on neuropsychology and its application to both clinical and research populations.  Under supervision, Interns engage in a wide variety of assessments and interventions appropriate to the role and function of a beginning clinical psychologist.  Upon successful completion of the training year, Interns will have completed 2000 hours of supervised clinical experience which can be applied towards licensure. You may contact Dr. Jane Martin at jane.martin@mssm.edu. Further information about the program is provided on our website:  www.mountsinai.org/neuropsychologicaltesting
