Psychology: Nationwide Opportunities for V.A. Fellowships and Internships

 

 

 

Veteran's mental health is a top priority in V.A.VA provides Internships, Postdoctoral Fellowships, and Practicum Training in many sites across the U.S. With about 430 internship positions and 200 postdoctoral fellowship positions funded each year, VA is the largest provider of training in Psychology in the nation.

We have continued to expand our training opportunities and have added 160 additional positions for the 2008-2009 academic year. These positions include new internship programs in Anchorage AK, Asheville NC, Iowa City IA, and Richmond VA. While these programs do not yet have APA accreditation, given their newness, graduates of these programs will be eligible for employment as psychologists within the Department of Veterans Affairs just as are graduates from accredited programs. All existing VA Internship and many Postdoctoral Psychology training programs hold APA accreditation status.
