Training and Education Offered by Internship
Please describe your objective in training Predoctoral interms. Please include a brief description of your training program and how it fits within the goals or mission of your agency:
The training objective for interns is to provide a rich and diverse experience that prepares students to be well-rounded clinicians. In addition to strong generalist training in psychology, interns are expected to develop expertise in employee assistance and special awareness of the issues involved in providing psychological services within a workplace setting. Training includes a minimum of two hours per week of case conferences and/or didactic training activities, in addition to two and a half hours of individual supervision. Interns have the opportunity to participate in departmental consultations and present educational talks on campus. Interns also co-facilitate time-limited/theme-oriented support groups (e.g., anger management, coping with grief and loss, parenting, and caregiver support). There are also opportunities for interns to participate in campus committees (e.g., Violence in the Workplace, Medical Staff Well-Being, etc.). Therapeutic interventions include individual, couples, family, and groups.
If applicable, describe in detail how the internship training differs from practicum training:
The pre-doctoral psychology internship differs from practicum training in the following ways:
1. Greater opportunity for long-term and more complex cases.
2. Requirement of presenting at least one psychoeducational workshop/talk at UCDH.
3. Requirement of co-facilitating at least one theme-oriented support group for UCDH staff.
4. Requirement of participating in at least one departmental/management consultation at UCDH.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND FUNCTIONS OF PREDOCTORAL INTERNS:
The main focus of the training program involves the intake assessment and brief treatment of clients. Interns will provide clients with appropriate and adequate resources and referrals, as necessary. Interns will have opportunities to treat couples and families, and be able to have a portion of their caseload dedicated to seeing longer term psychotherapy clients. All interns will be responsible for co-facilitating at least one theme-oriented support group and making at least one psychoeducational presentation to the UCDH community. Interns will also participate in at least one departmental/management consultation.
