Program Description

The Yale Child Study Center is a two year integrated clinical internship and postdoctoral fellowship. The internship is the first of two required years and provides general training in child clinical psychology with an emphasis on psychological assessment. During the internship year, approximately 15 hours per week are dedicated to specific areas of specialization: Early Childhood, Pediatrics, Autism/Developmental Disorders, or Children and Trauma. The second year provides the opportunity to meet requirements for licensure; the generalist components of the program focus on hospital based work, including serving as a primary clinician in an inpatient setting, and the remaining 50% time is dedicated to the area of specialization.
