Training Program: Mission Statement
The training program is designed to prepare interns to function competently and independently as psychologists. Our goals are: to graduate interns who are clinically competent, highly ethical, culturally sensitive, and who have developed a well-defined professional identity. The program follows a practitioner-scholar model of professional training for psychologists. As a practitioner, the intern applies the knowledge gained from scholarly and scientific evidence to clinical practice. As a scholar, the intern is engaged in study of the science of psychology, and is encouraged to contribute to the profession though involvement in scholarly activities. Although the training staff represents a variety of theoretical orientations, there is a shared valuing of experiential, developmental and humanistic approaches to training.
