Internship Opportunity: Abnormal/Clinical Psychology Training
Davidson College sponsors an eight-week summer program for
undergraduates which includes coursework and an internship at
Broughton Hospital in Morganton, N.C., a state psychiatric facility
serving western North Carolina. Students complete two course credits
in the areas of abnormal/clinical psychology. One is a regular
classroom course that meets weekly. This course, taught by a Clinical
Psychologist with Davidson College, will be Advanced Clinical
Psychology (PSY 326). It is assumed that the student has taken a
course in abnormal psychology. In addition, students take Abnormal
Psychology Practicum (PSY 290) which includes working in the hospital
and weekly classes, times to be arranged once the class arrives in
Morganton. This course is taught by an instructor from Broughton
Hospital. The program will run from June 1 to July 23, 2004.
Participants work with hospital professionals as observers and
assistants in patient treatment programs. Students may have the
opportunity to participate in other hospital trainings and/or field
trips to settings where activities relevant to clinical psychology are
occurring. Service to the hospital is an important aspect of all
placement options. In past years placement options have included the
Divisions of Adult Admissions, Psychiatric Rehabilitation,
Adolescence, and Geropsychiatry.
Program size is 8 students. The number of applications for the
program has progressively increased over the last several years.
Criteria for admission, therefore, are driven in part by the number of
applicants, and can become competitive. Applications from students
enrolled at Davidson College will receive some preferential weighting.
For detailed information, visit the Davidson College Department's
webpage: http://www.davidson.edu/academic/psychology/broughton.htm. The
application form is also there. Deadline: APRIL 1, 2004. Visiting the
Broughton Hospital web site at http://www.broughtonhospital.org/index.html may be helpful.
