Program Description

Mission: The Santa Barbara Psychology Internship Consortium’s (SB-PIC) mission is to train doctoral psychology interns dedicated to serving children and their families.

Objectives

The Santa Barbara Psychology Internship Consortium (SB-PIC) represents the collaborative effort to share resources, staff, and faculty for the purpose of providing a diversified educational program for doctoral psychology interns. The training at SB-PIC is designed for doctoral interns to develop skills in psychological assessment, evidence-based intervention, and clinical consultation.

Goals

SB-PIC is designed to prepare interns to practice independent psychology and to meet state School Psychology certification requirements. With respect to internship goals, the intern will:

  1. further develop assessment (for intervention) and diagnostic skills in the areas of cognitive, educational, and social-emotional functioning;
  2. further develop the ability to select and use a variety of developmentally appropriate psychotherapeutic techniques relevant for individuals, groups, and families to promote overall health;
  3. continue to develop and apply research knowledge and skills relevant to evaluating, understanding, and promoting the cognitive, educational, and social-emotional development of youth; including selecting appropriate evidence-based interventions, effectively progress monitor implemented interventions, and make treatment recommendations;
  4. develop consultation skills through interactions with parents, educators, staff, and other relevant constituents;
  5. acquire further knowledge of the roles of other disciplines in educational and mental health, settings and function as an interdisciplinary team member;
  6. be positioned to effectively function as a health service provider in school settings.

Duration

The SB-PIC training program is a 10.5 month, full-time doctoral internship experience. Interns are expected to complete at least 1500 hours of training during the year. For interns who are seeking more than 1500 hours of training, it may be possible to establish a plan in advance to extend the duration and fulfill additional hours, when desired. Across training sites, at least 50% of interns' time is in face-to-face services.

Training Model

The model of training of SB-PIC may be considered “general” as interns may gain training experiences across a range of school-age clients from preschool through high school, with diverse types of psychopathology, challenges, and needs. Training in ethical and professional standards will be incorporated in supervision and seminar presentations to prepare interns for the highest standards of professional conduct. SB-PIC’s core facilities, adjunct facilities, and affiliates are committed to the objectives, goals, and philosophy of SB-PIC. The Consortium’s members are strongly committed to offering a high quality internship experience with intensive supervision, didactic seminars, and opportunities for direct clinical experience.
