NEW MEXICO VA DOCTORAL PSYCHOLOGY INTERNSHIP The New Mexico VA Doctoral Psychology Internship is a member of APPIC and is accredited by the American Psychological Association. The next APA

site visit will occur in 2027. The New Mexico VA Psychology Internship (NMVAPDI) is housed primarily at the New Mexico VA Healthcare System in Albuquerque, NM where all of the major

rotations take place. We have affiliations with a wide range of departments at the University of New Mexico Hospital, which is an academic affiliate partner of the program. We offer

generalist, research-based, culturally-aware training with possible major rotations covering psychological trauma (residential and outpatient), health psychology (including primary care

mental health integration, palliative care, spinal cord injury), substance use disorders, serious mental illness, psychosocial rehabilitation, family therapy, assessment, psychotherapy, and

neuropsychology. We have seven funded slots in our general track and one funded slots in our neuropsychology track. Our training program follows a scientist-practitioner model and we ascribe

to a generalist training philosophy.  We aim to provide interns with experiences to increase knowledge of areas of specialty interest while also ensuring training in areas that might

represent gaps in their graduate training. We consider our training in cultural and individual diversity to be a particular strength of the program. Culture is conceptualized broadly and we

emphasize an understanding of both self and others to effectively integrate issues related to culture and individual differences into professional activities.   Doctoral students in

APA-accredited clinical or counseling psychology programs who have completed at least 250 hours of practicum experience, have had a formal dissertation proposal accepted, and have the

approval of their departmental Director of Clinical Training are eligible to apply.  Our internship program is federally funded and interns must be US citizens. Male intern candidates must

be registered for the Selective Service or provide documentation indicating an exemption from registering. Strong preference is given to those candidates who have completed, or nearly

completed their doctoral dissertation and who have demonstrated research productivity. We have found that students from Clinical Science or Scientist-Practitioner doctoral programs have been

the best matches with our training philosophy and values. 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. We of course abide by our parent institution's

non-discrimination policy. APPLICATION DEADLINE: Monday, November 4, 2024 DOWNLOAD THE BROCHURE LISTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE:   APPIC INTERNSHIP MATCH NUMBERS General internship: 143711
