Program Description

 

Internship Program

Internship is the year that bridges the space between being a student of psychology and being a professional psychologist. Hence, it is our goal to transform the intern from someone who is solely a "learner" to a "learning practitioner" who will be ready for their fellowship, or first license eligible full time job. The components of this "transformation" are the internship's provision of clinical, administrative, and supervisory experiences with professional supervision and didactics provided by the internship’s faculty to support them. Since the Parnes Clinic is the training site for an APA approved doctoral psychology program (Ferkauf), we also have the goal of preparing the intern to be a training psychologist. To this end, interns participate in some Ferkauf faculty meetings and the overall administration of our training clinic. To our knowledge, we are the first internship ever to be primarily housed in an APA approved doctoral psychology training program clinic. 

 

Our doctoral psychology training clinic internship program is designed to meet the increasing skill level of the intern, approaching training and supervision from a developmental model. At the start of the internship, all interns will participate in the University "onboarding procedures" to acclimate them to the academic setting. This includes sexual harassment policies and the assurance of cybersecurity. Then, in the second and third weeks of the internship year, interns learn various Parnes clinic policies and procedures including the use of our electronic medical record, screening and intake procedures, service planning, how to participate (and supervise) in the various tracks within the clinic, and emergency practices and safety support planning. They also become oriented to the various graduate programs in the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology and they learn about the Katz Scool Physicians Assistant training program where they will eventually proctor a PA student. From that point, the internship program is sequential, cumulative and graded in complexity and interns pick up more and more responsibility when it is deemed that they are able to handle it. Eventually, they reach a caselaod of 8 to 10 patients in the clinic and supervision on these patients in the initial months of internship is more directive, allowing interns to gain skills needed to be successful.

 

All internship positions for training year 2025-2026 begin Tuesday, September 2nd, 2025 and end Friday August 31st, 2026. The internship program consists of 2000 hours over 12 months and encompasses training, group and individual supervision, and didactic experiences designed to meet the APA Standards of Accreditation, and New York State licensure requirements. Licensure requirements vary from state-to-state, so prospective interns are encouraged to be knowledgeable regarding the requirements of other states. Interns are expected to make a full-time commitment to their training and respect the schedule they develop with their supervisors to ensure that they meet their training requirements of 2000 hours. The internship year is a rigorous experience and requires the intern to be fully present and open to all that the year offers in terms of skill development, training and supervision. As such, additional employment outside of the internship is highly discouraged as it contributes to burn out, reduces the opportunity for interns to engage in self-care, fosters difficulty for interns to fully commit to the internship training year, and at times it presents a conflict in priorities.

 

Please note that all internship positions are an “in person” experience. There are no work-from-home arrangements, and no hybrid training experiences are offered. When telehealth is utilized, the intern conducts the session from the site/office. The only exception for a work-from-home or a hybrid schedule, is if an intern has a documented disability and the intern has had accommodations approved by participating in the formal process through the Yeshiva University Office of Students with Disabilities. Not all requests for accommodations are approved and they are approved on a case-by-case basis. For more information, please contact Dr. William Salton at William.salton@yu.edu.
