We normally take 2-3 weeks to complete the application review process. We will contact all applicants by email with either an invitation to interview or a decline to interview notice.
Health and Neuropsychology tracks typically interview across 5-6 consecutive work days during early-mid January. The Pediatric Psychology track typically interviews on a series of Thusdays and Fridays in December and January.
We will be using the NMS Interview Scheduler. Requests to interview with specific faculty are welcomed and will be honored if possible. Once you have scheduled an interview, it cannot be changed, so please choose carefully.
All interviews will be conducted virtually.
The interview day begins at approximately 8am and lasts until 2:30pm. Applicants will interview with multiple faculty members individually.
Psychology Doctoral Internship (Residency), Rush University Medical Center
Applicants apply to and train in one of the three basic training emphases (tracks) of the program: Health Psychology (4 positions), Neuropsychology (3 positions), Child/Adolescent/Pediatric Psychology (2 positions).
Across tracks, there is a common focus on the roles and functions of clinical psychologists in a general medical setting and a common emphasis on a broad understanding of the life adaptation of children and adults. Each track provides both didactic training and clinical experience aimed at developing professional competence and achieving the goals of training described earlier. This area of emphasis training model dovetails with our training philosophy which highlights both breadth and depth of knowledge.
All supervisors are available to each resident for consultation.
