Interns select one of the three training emphases of the program: pediatric/child and adolescent psychology, health psychology, or neuropsychology. Across tracks, there is a common focus on the roles and functions of health service psychologists in a general medical setting and a common emphasis on a broad understanding of the life adaptation of children and adults. Each track provides both didactic training and clinical experience aimed at developing professional competence and achieving the goals of training described earlier. This area of emphasis training model dovetails with our training philosophy which highlights both breadth and depth of knowledge.
Cross-track experiences are available depending on intern interest and scheduling availability. For example, occasionally pediatric/child/adolescent track interns choose electives in the neuropsychology service. In addition, all supervisors are available to each intern for consultation.
