Psychology Internship Program
The internship has been fully accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) since 1979. It is a member of the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC). The Department of Veterans Affairs provides funding for four fulltime predoctoral internship positions in clinical psychology. The Director of Psychology Training, a staff psychologist, is charged with full responsibility for the administration of the program.
Administratively, the internship falls within the Mental Health Care Line, one of several major divisions into which the clinical and non-clinical activities of SAVAHCS are grouped. Within the Mental Health Care Line are several multidisciplinary programs that provide a variety of clinical services and training. The internship is administered at this program level by the Director of Psychology Training.
The internship usually begins in the last week of August or the first week of September. It requires a weekly commitment of 40 hours of clinical service and training over a period of 52 weeks. Interns receive 108 hours of vacation time, up to 108 hours of sick leave, and paid time off on each of ten federal holidays. Interns may purchase health insurance for themselves and their families at federally subsidized rates. The salary for the internship appears in the current APPIC annual directory of internships, which is accessible at the APPIC Website: http://www.appic.org
The internship adheres fully to all federal anti-discrimination laws and to the official policies of the American Psychological Association and the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC). This internship also abides by the APPIC policy that no person at this training facility will solicit, accept or use any ranking-related information from any intern applicant at any time during the internship application and selection process. By permission, the APPIC Match Policy is considered part of this program’s descriptive information and should be viewed and/or downloaded at the APPIC Website.
