Interns participate in two clinical rotations, each of which consists
of five days and lasts for six months. Specific training experiences
are collaboratively determined based on individual interests and
program needs. To graduate from the internship, interns are required to
accrue a minimum of 2000 hours of program participation over the course
of the year. They also are expected to fulfill the following
requirements and demonstrate competence in each of the areas listed
below.
Clinical Services
Interns are expected to provide four patient contact hours per day
(20 hours per week). Depending on the rotation and the vagaries of
testing assignments, this will typically involve:
- 12-15 hours of outpatient groups per week
- 2-5 hours of individual therapy sessions per week
- Face-to-face testing time (as assigned)
Interns are also required to attend Staff, Team and Performance Improvement meetings at their rotation sites.
Didactic activities
4 hours of clinical supervision per week
2 hours of seminars and other didactic activities per week
1-2 hours of curriculum and/or program development per week
1-2 hours of research activity per week
