Seattle - VA Puget Sound Health Care System

Internship Program

The predoctoral internship at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle, Washington is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association. The next site visit will be during the academic year 2009.

Doctoral students in APA-accredited Clinical or Counseling Psychology programs are eligible to apply. All coursework required for the doctoral degree must be completed prior to the start of the internship year, as well as any qualifying, comprehensive, or preliminary doctoral examinations. We prefer candidates whose doctoral dissertations will be completed, or nearly completed, before the internship. However, because internship is part of the pre-doctoral training requirement, interns must not be granted their degree by their academic institution prior to successful completion of the internship year.
