The Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University provides training at the predoctoral level for students interested in careers relevant to clinical science, research, and practice. The overall training philosophy of the program reflects a commitment to the development of psychologists who will apply scientific knowledge to human behavior in clinical practice and who will advance clinical science research. The Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program is committed to the mission of increasing diversity among its trainees and faculty.
The Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program prefers students currently matriculated in an American Psychological Association (APA) accredited doctoral program in Clinical Psychology or equivalent. Applicants from Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) accredited programs will be considered. Successful applicants to our program typically come from training programs with a strong clinical science or scientist-practitioner emphasis.
The Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program accepts applications from international, non-US citizens. International students cannot be supported through the 6 positions funded through the Providence VA Medical Center. [Note: The Clinical Psychology Training Consortium is in the process of arranging a Disbursement Agreement between the Consortium and VA Medical Center for VA site experiences. Once in place all trainees will be employed through Butler Hospital.]
Applicants who are accepted into the training program on a visa may be required to meet minimum funding requirements. Funding from sources other than the Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program (private sponsor, your government, scholarship, personal funds, etc.) can be considered to meet the minimum requirements. Please check directly with your current institution's International Student and Scholar Services office for required documentation.
All candidates for admission will have adequate preparation for internship as indicated by a statement from the applicant's Program Director. A minimum of 500 contact hours (supervision does not count towards contact hours) of formal, supervised practicum training is required. The total number of practicum hours is the total completed intervention hours plus the total completed assessment hours. Although 500 hours will be the minimum for consideration, 800 remains program preference given program data that support this number as the threshold at which people have been best prepared for the Brown Clinical Psychology Internship. As part of our holistic review, consideration is also given to clinical hours and experiences that have exposed applicants to evidence-based assessment and intervention practices with a variety of populations at different levels of clinical acuity.
