Some applicants will be invited to attend virtual interviews scheduled between 4 January and 5 February 2024. As part of the virtual interviews, applicants will meet individually with current interns, faculty, and the training directors. Each track will also hold virtual open houses (in a group format) to provide applicants the opportunity to meet informally with faculty to ask questions about the program, sites, and training opportunities. Open houses will occur by Track in December prior to virtual interviews.
Additionally, for individuals who are bilingual in Spanish and applying for the Integrated Primary Care Behavioral Health Track, faculty interviews may be conducted in Spanish. However, it is important to note that this only applies to the IPCBH track. The ability to speak Spanish is not a requirment of the IPCBH Track nor any other track within our internship.
** SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR APPLICATION
Historically, our program has supported the scientist-practitioner model, with an emphasis on the practitioner side of the Boulder model. To accomplish this end we have adopted generalist training involving a full array of patients (children, adolescents, adults) seen in diverse treatment settings (inpatient, outpatient, primary care, and community organizations) receiving a full spectrum of psychological evaluations (interview and test based) and interventions (individual and group) under intensive supervision. There is an emphasis within this training model of experiential learning (with experienced psychologist role models) within a research-science framework. Experiential training is supported by weekly seminars and didactic trainings designed to enhance the trainee's understanding of the scientist-practitioner model, evidence-based practice, integrative assessment, and ethics/diversity. The UT Health San Antonio Internship has four distinct tracks: Cognitive-Behavioral (focusing on evidence-based practice), Child, Adolescent and Family (a track with considerable child experience and an emphasis on the process of psychotherapy), Forensic (with an emphasis on not-guilty-by-reason of insanity populations and long term psychosocial rehabilitation in a forensic environment), and Integrated Primary Care Behavioral Health (with a focus on training in implementing the Primary Care Behavioral Health consultation model). You may apply to one or all tracks and may rank all four. You will only be matched to one track. Please see our website for additional details.
