Internship Program

The predoctoral internship at the Miami VA Medical Center in Florida is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association. The next site visit will be during the academic year 2010.

Intern candidates must be United States citizens who are currently enrolled as advanced doctoral students in a Clinical or Counseling Psychology program. Please note that residents and legal aliens are not eligible for funded internship positions. Only students in programs approved by the American Psychological Association are eligible. No slots are pre allocated to any graduate program, and multiple candidates can be accepted from any one graduate program. The Miami VA Healthcare System Psychology Predoctoral Internship Program offers training only for full-time positions; part-time positions are not available.

Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

The postdoctoral fellowship at the Miami VA Medical Center in Florida is not yet accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association. An application is in process, and a site visit is expected in 2009.

All applicants must have completed all graduation requirements from an APA-accredited doctoral program in Clinical or Counseling Psychology and an APA-accredited predoctoral internship in Psychology by September 1st of the fellowship year. As a desire to work with a veteran population is required, practicum or internship at a VHA facility is encouraged, but not mandatory. Given the emphasis in either Health Psychology or Gero/Neuro Psychology, clinical experiences in one of these areas is highly recommended. As research, administration, and supervision are integral parts of the Miami VAHS fellowship program, some experience--or a willingness to develop skills in these areas--is also recommended.
