Program Disclosures

As articulated in Standard I.B.2, programs may have “admission and employment policies that directly relate to affiliation or purpose” that may be faith-based or secular in nature. However, such policies and practices must be disclosed to the public. Therefore, programs are asked to respond to the following question.

Does the program or institution require students, trainees, and/or staff (faculty) to comply with specific policies or practices related to the institution’s affiliation or purpose? Such policies or practices may include, but are not limited to, admissions, hiring, retention policies, and/or requirements for completion that express mission and values.

  X Yes         __No

If yes, provide website link (or content from brochure) where this specific information is presented: https://clinical-psychology.med.brown.edu/internship/internship-applicants-admissions-support-initial-placement-data/eligibility  

Internship Program Admissions

The Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University provides training at the predoctoral level for students interested in careers relevant to clinical science, research, and practice. The overall training philosophy of the program reflects a commitment to the development of psychologists who will apply scientific knowledge to human behavior in clinical practice and who will advance clinical science research. The Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program is committed to the mission of increasing diversity among its trainees and faculty.

The Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program prefers students currently matriculated in an American Psychological Association (APA) accredited doctoral program in Clinical Psychology or equivalent. Applicants from Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) accredited programs will be considered.  Successful applicants to our program typically come from training programs with a strong clinical science or scientist-practitioner emphasis.

The Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program accepts applications from international, non-US citizens. International students cannot be supported through the 6 positions funded through the Providence VA Medical Center.

Applicants who are accepted into the training program on a visa may be required to meet minimum funding requirements.  Funding from sources other than the Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program (private sponsor, your government, scholarship, personal funds, etc.) can be considered to meet the minimum requirements.  Please check directly with your current institution's International Student and Scholar Services office for required documentation.

All candidates for admission will have adequate preparation for internship as indicated by a statement from the applicant’s Program Director.  A minimum of 800 contact hours (supervision does not count towards contact hours) of formal, supervised practicum training is required.

The internship year starts on July 1st. Clinical psychology residents must be on site by June 30 for a mandatory orientation.

Clinical psychology residents are employed by either Butler Hospital or the Providence VA Medical Center (determined upon acceptance).  All candidates for admission are held to the onboarding requirements of the hospital in which they will be employed (Butler Hospital or the Providence VA Medical Center).  All candidates for admission are strongly encouraged to purchase their own liability insurance (Professional Liability (Malpractice) Insurance for Graduate Students) while on internship, for the period of 7/1-6/30.  Future employers may request that you supply proof of insurance while you were in training. 

To be consistent with NIH policy, it is the Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program's requirement that individuals receiving NRSA research funding (e.g. F31 predoctoral award) cannot simultaneously hold this award and complete a full-time clinical internship.  Some clinical psychology residents are able to arrange a "leave of absence" from the grant during the internship year.  For further details on the NIH policy, please refer directly to their website:  National Institutes of Mental Health, Grants Policy Statement.

The Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program observes the guidelines regarding timing of internship offers and acceptances adopted by the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) and the Council of University Directors of Clinical and Counseling Programs. This internship site agrees to abide by the APPIC policy that no person at this training facility will solicit, accept or use any ranking-related information from any internship applicant.

At this time, the State of Rhode Island mandates that all healthcare providers and healthcare workers have received a complete series of COVID-19 vaccine (one dose of Johnson & Johnson, two doses of Pfizer or Moderna). The sole exemption in the regulation is a medical exemption. For more information, please visit the Rhode Island Department of Health, COVID-19 Information website.

Upon successful completion of the program, a certificate is awarded by the Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program, The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.

Does the program require that applicants have received a minimum number of hours of the following at time of application? If Yes, indicate how many:
Total Direct Contact Intervention Hours Y Amount: 200*see below
Total Direct Contact Assessment Hours Y Amount: 50*see below
Describe any other required minimum criteria used to screen applicants:
*We require at least 800 hours as our minimum number of practicum hours.  The total number of practicum hours is the total completed intervention hours plus the total completed assessment hours.  For applicants whose total number of practicum hours is low, we also consider information provided in the "Anticipated Practicum Experience" section. [Due to COVID-19 disruptions in training, we will be flexible with the number of hours required, as long as an explanation for reduced hours is provided in the cover letter and DCT letter.]
