The doctoral internship at the Cheyenne VA Health Care System is a fully accredited program effective 8/6/2021 by the Commission on Accreditation (CoA) of the American Psychological Association (APA). Our next site visit will occur in 2025 and we anticipate continued accreditation.
The Cheyenne VA Health Care System (CVAHCS) Psychology Internship Program is based on the Scholar-Practitioner training model. The training program’s goal is to create a supportive, collegial atmosphere that is committed to training future psychologists in the scientific practice of psychology. During the internship year, trainees will receive strong generalist training with an emphasis on evidence-based psychotherapies.
The Cheyenne internship training program follows the professional developmental model, in which trainees will gradually progress from close supervision to more independent functioning over the course of each rotation and throughout the year. The competencies were developed to be sequential, cumulative, and graded in complexity. It is expected that interns demonstrate growth during the training year in the identified competencies as they receive clinical supervision and ongoing feedback regarding their progress. Furthermore, interns are expected to learn to function as professional psychologists in close collaboration with other disciplines in a VA medical facility and outpatient clinics. Interns completing the program should be fully prepared for further postdoctoral training or entry-level professional positions working with adult and older adult patient populations with a variety of mental health concerns.
