Program Description
Program Description:
The primary goal is to provide a comprehensive predoctoral training program, which ensures the development of adequate levels of proficiency across the basic areas of clinical psychology including assessment, therapy, consultation, and clinical research. A central mission of the Training Consortium is to promote diversity of perspective and experience in its pursuit of academic excellence in research, teaching, and service.

The overall training objectives of the program reflect a commitment to the development of clinical psychologists who are clinical scientists with broad-based skills. Particular emphasis, however, is given to CBT and behaviorally-oriented approaches to assessment and treatment in both the Adult, Child, and Health Psychology/Behavioral Medicine Tracks. Training in the Child and Neuropsychology Tracks is more eclectic in orientation. A secondary goal of the program is to provide a beginning concentration in a particular area of clinical psychology.

The Internship offers intensive training in four specific areas (tracks) of clinical psychology: 1. Adult, 2. Child, 3. Health Psychology/Behavioral Medicine, and 4. Neuropsychology. All clinical psychology residents are admitted to the training program within a track or area of emphasis, which represents their career focus or interests. In the Adult and Health Psychology tracks, each resident completes two 4 month rotations with their specialization. The third rotation for the year is determined by the Training Committee, with input from the resident and his/her advisor, and is in an area either inside or outside of that individual's chosen track. Residents in the Child track complete a full year of training in clinical child and/or pediatric psychology with the option for some clinical training with adults. Residents in the Neuropsychology track complete a full year of training in clinical neuropsychology.
