Program Description

Duke University Medical Center's Clinical Psychology Doctoral Internship Program training takes place within the context and spirit of the scientist-practitioner and clinical scientist models with the overarching aim to produce a Clinical Psychologist who is able to demonstrate all Profession-wide competencies and thrive in a variety of academic and health care settings.
