This Clinical Psychology internship is designed for clinical or counseling psychology, PhD or PsyD, graduate students who have completed all other requirements for the doctorate degree including Masters Degree and having passed comprehensive exams by application deadline.

 

Eligible applicants must come from an APA-accredited, or equivalent (e.g., CPA, PCSAS), program in clinical psychology or counseling psychology, have a minimum of 3 years of graduate training, and have a minimum of 500 practicum hours. The total number of practicum hours is the total completed intervention hours plus the total completed assessment hours. Although 500 hours will be the minimum for consideration, 800 remains program preference given program data that support this number as the threshold at which people have been best prepared for the Brown Clinical Psychology Internship. As part of our holistic review, consideration is also given to clinical hours and experiences that have exposed applicants to evidence-based assessment and intervention practices with a variety of populations at different levels of clinical acuity. 

 

U.S. citizenship is not a requirement to apply to the Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program.  Applicants who are non-U.S. citizens would not be eligible for the 6 VA Medical Center-funded positions. If NOT a U.S. citizen, authorization to work or to engage in practical training (CPT or OPT) in the U.S. is required.
