Clinical Psychology Predoctoral Internship Program
Phoenix Children's Hospital psychologists provide assessment, intervention, consultation, and treatment to infants, children, adolescents, and families.
The psychology internship program is offered by the Behavioral Medicine Department, which trains medical residents, psychology practicum students, and psychology interns.
Our predoctoral internship program offers rotations for inpatient medical, outpatient medical/non-medical, assessment, and inpatient child bio-behavioral. Although the program is not yet APA accredited, it is modeled in accordance with APA guidelines with the intention of becoming an APA accredited program as soon as possible. The accreditation process is lengthy, and we cannot guarantee when it will be complete. We are a member of APPIC.
The primary goal of the program is to train interns in the core competencies needed to be a skilled psychologist working with children, adolescents, and families in a medical setting. Additionally, multicultural/diversity issues, ethical issues, interpersonal skills, and professional behavior are addressed during the training year.
Our program embraces cultural and individual diversity and strives to recruit interns representative of diverse personal and demographic characteristics. Candidates likewise, should have experience, and the desire to work with diverse groups of children and adolescents in a medical setting.
