Brief description of the typical work day for an intern at this training site The goals of internship are achieved through a combination of clinical experiences, supervision, and didactic trainings. The internship is organized around a core training curriculum that emphasizes the development and enhancement of skills in diagnosis, assessment, treatment, and research in clinical practice in both medical and behavioral health facilities. In addition to the core rotations, interns choose elective training areas for supplementary experiences in specific domains of psychology. The Internship Program consists of required and elective components, and it is organized into two six-month rotations. Each intern is assigned a primary rotation, where they spend four days per week (with the exception of protected didactic time). Mid-year interns will switch rotations. This provides interns an opportunity for a varied training experience and exposure to multiple supervisors.

Program Description

Hackensack Meridian Health Jersey Shore University Medical Center (JSUMC), located in Neptune, NJ, is a not-for-profit healthcare facility. The Department of Psychiatry of JSUMC, in conjunction with Hackensack Meridian Health, offers a one-year, full-time (2000 hours) internship in Health Service Psychology. The internship provides an individually tailored sequence of training experiences with the primary focus being on assuring breadth and quality of training. Interns' experience at JSUMC involves a broad range of supervised clinical work with patients across the lifespan in both inpatient and outpatient settings and throughout the medical facility and its affiliate settings. Patients seen within the JSUMC system are from diverse cultural, ethnic, and economic backgrounds and present with a broad range of diagnoses, mental health concerns, medical needs, and a variety of clinical needs. Interns gain experience providing a variety of clinical services and treatment modalities in a medical setting and acquire assessment experience using a range of assessment tools.

The Internship Program at JSUMC provides interns with generalist training in order to prepare them for entry level clinical practice in a wide variety of clinical settings. The Internship Program follows the practitioner-scholar training model, characterized by intensive clinical experience supported by didactic programming and supervision that exposes interns to current research and literature relevant to their clinical work. As such, interns are encouraged to integrate clinical practice and science by utilizing clinical research and theory to guide clinical decisions. The program provides interns with a broad continuum of clinical training opportunities, including assessment, evaluation, consultation, and direct treatment in multidisciplinary, culturally diverse settings. The intern experience is designed to build upon previously acquired competencies and to facilitate the development of new clinical and professional skills while fostering a sense of professional identity.
