Internship Program

Child/Adult Track (2 positions) & Adult Track (2 positions)

Each Adult Track intern will be required to complete adult inpatient placements (20 hours per week) on four separate inpatient units (on a rotating basis) throughout the entire training year. Like our Adult Track Interns, our Child/Adult interns will complete adult inpatient placements on four separate units (8-12 hours per week) at DePaul Hospital located in the beautiful Uptown area of New Orleans. We are confident that no adult inpatient experience equals that which one can receive at DePaul Hospital. As a member of the DePaul's multidisciplinary treatment teams, you will receive exposure to a vast array of psychopathology within a clinical and academic teaching environment. These remarkable hospital experiences lay a solid foundation upon which your skills and knowledge will be built.

Inpatient rotations involve varying amounts of psychological assessment, group therapy, individual therapy, family therapy, and consultation services. During the primary rotation, the psychology intern may (if approved) have elective time in which to gain additional training in a "subspecialty" areas such as work with infants, victims of violence, trauma and rural trauma, pediatric psychology/neuropsychology, and/or forensic psychology. Other rotations usually can be developed by request based on intern interest and/or client and supervision availability.

Throughout the year, each Child/Adult Psychology Intern (in addition to their adult inpatient experience at DePaul) will complete a 20 hour/week child and family outpatient experience at the Office of Mental Health-Algiers Child Outpatient Clinic located on the West Bank of New Orleans in lovely Algiers Point where they will carry 10-15 child/adolescent/family outpatient psychotherapy cases per week. In contrast, throughout the year, each Adult Intern will carry at least 4 adult outpatient psychotherapy cases at the Behavioral Sciences Center (BSC) outpatient clinic located in uptown New Orleans. These cases seen at the BSC may be follow up treatments of patients previously carried in an inpatient setting, may come from direct outpatient referrals, and/or may be year-long intensive treatments or brief psycotherapy cases. When psychology interns want more than the required number of outpatient psychotherapy cases, the number and client mix will be based on the psychology intern's experience, interests, training needs, available time and quality of supervision, and must be approved in advance by the internship training director. Please note: Child/Adult Interns will complete their child and adolescent outpatient experience at the OMH Algiers Clinic; adult outpatient experience is not a requirement. Any Child/Adult wanting adult outpatient cases may do so as an elective component of their training above and beyond other required responsibilities (subject to approval by the Director of Training, available BSC clinic space, and/or client and supervisor availability).

In addition to extensive inpatient psychological evaluation of adults at DePaul Hospital and at the OMH Algiers Clinic, the Adult/Child and Adult Track psychology interns are required to maintain active cases through the BSC Assessment Clinic and complete outpatient batteries of psychological tests to evaluate child, adolescent, and/or adult outpatients (2-4 cases per month) during the entire psychology internship year. Copies of four sample outpatient evaluation reports (selected by each intern in collaboration with his/her supervisor that best represent intern’s test report writing/data integration skills) must be included in each intern’s training file to denote completion of this training requirement. BSC-AC assessments will include psychological, neuropsychological, and psychoeducation batteries. As part of their BSC-AC requirements, all interns attend a weekly 90-minute Case Conference Seminar to formally present and discuss cases assessed thorough the clinic. Interns are required to carry an active assessment case at all times throughout the training year with adjustments made to the caseload depending on complexity of cases assigned (average 2-4 per month). The majority of services completed through the BSC-AC are conducted in one-day (about 6 hours) with additional sessions scheduled as needed. Results with appropriate recommendations are provided in 30 to 60-minute feedback session appointments within 4 to 6 weeks from completion of all aspects of testing including collection of collateral reports from caregivers, teachers, etc.
