The Brooklyn VA Psychology Internship Program is designed to train interns as general adult practitioners through immersion in various clinical experiences and treatment modalities, with the support of thoughtful supervision, consultation, and didactic seminars. Interns undertake two 6-month rotations with multiple training experiences for each rotation. The program provides excellent and intensive experience and supervision in inpatient and outpatient settings. It is the philosophy of the program that an in-depth concentration in selected clinical areas allows for comprehensive training and better prepares interns for independent practice. Interns are provided with a diverse range of training activities including clinical work with patients, didactic instruction, clinical supervision, participation in research projects when available, and mentoring. Attention is given to the sequence and complexity of the learning tasks and interns are guided through their experience, adjusting for level of ability and expertise. Please see brochure for more detailed information about our Internship Program.
