Doctoral students in APA-accredited clinical or counseling psychology programs who have completed at least 500 hours of applied psychological training experience and have the approval of their departmental Director of Clinical Training are eligible to apply. Strong preference is given to those candidates who have completed, or nearly completed their doctoral dissertation and who have demonstrated research productivity. We also highly value experience with and/or demonstrated interest in cultural factors in psychology. We believe our internship is ideal for those who envision a career that combines clinical, teaching, and research activities within a culturally-informed framework.
