Our APA accredited internship is committed to the goal of helping the psychology intern to develop competencies in the traditional core skills of clinical psychology such as psychodiagnostic testing, clinical interviewing, treatment planning, consultation, and psychotherapy, though the program is designed to be flexible enough to take into account the needs and professional goals of each trainee. LSUHSC School of Medicine offers three distinct tracks allowing for either broad/generalist training, or highly specialized/focused training in Clinical Psychology: 1) the Child/Adult track, 2) the Adult track, and 3) the Infant/Child track. The Infant/Child track intern has the opportunity to obtain highly specialized training in their work with infants, school-aged children, adolescents, and their caregivers.
Our internship program offers training in General Clinical Psychology with additional concentration in specific areas of clinical psychology. All interns receive training in evaluation and diagnosis; interventions, including empirically supported treatment models; consultation, and supervision, all with a focus on delivering ethical services that are sensitive to individual and cultural diversity. We support and demonstrate scholarly approaches of knowledge acquisition and analysis. Our program offers two tracks: Adult Psychology and Child Psychology. The concentration in the Child Track is either Pediatric Psychology or Infant Mental Health.
