Program Description

The Arizona Psychology Training Consortium is a non-profit subsidiary corporation of the Arizona Psychological Association. The Consortium was developed to create postdoctoral residencies. Neuropsychology, forensics, autism diagnosis and treatment, sexual addiction treatment, and private practice sites are available. There are a few clinical rotations among the training sites. Each of the residencies provides advanced training in assessment, psychotherapy, cultural diversity, and independent practice. Residents participate in two-day didactic training events each month. There can be significant travel to some of the monthly training events. Training opportunities are provided by academicians and practitioners from several Arizona universities, community agencies, and practices. Begin the application process by sending a letter of interest to the Consortium's Director of Residency training and to each site supervisor where you have an interest. Ultimately, the Consortium will need a CV, 3 letters of recommendation, a graduate school transcript, and your profesional liability insurance.
