Interviews will be held in late December or early January. Applicants will be notified by email. Interview will be virtual and will be 1/2 a day. The day will start with an overview of the program, followed by individual and group interviews.
The internship program is structured to be a full-time, one-year training experience; an optional second year may be considered. Each internship year begins on July 1, but exceptions may be made for an August 1 start date to accommodate variation in predoctoral internship end dates. Postdoctoral fellows work five days per week between the hours of 8am and 5pm, including at least one late evening per week. Hours worked per week generally range from 40-45. There is no "on-call" coverage. The internship program has an emphasis on clinical child and pediatric psychology and focuses on evidence-based services. Postdoctoral fellows work with diverse clinical presentations, as well as low-income, ethnically and culturally diverse families, who are largely underserved. Clinical services and training activities are conducted in-person, following safety guidelines, and via virtual/telehealth platforms. Both brief and longer-term interventions, in group and individual formats, are available. Can gain exposure and experience with outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and inpatient medical levels of care. Postdoctoral fellows work collaboratively with a team of providers (e.g., medical residents/fellows, nurses, pediatricians, social workers, licensed professional counselors, psychiatrists, etc.), and are actively involved in clinical teaching and supervision. Time is also protected for research and didactics. Upon successful completion of the internship program, trainees are expected to have met all doctoral internship requirements (1,750 hours) needed for licensure (as outlined in Texas statutes).
