Internships and fellowships
Psychology Internship Program
The Alaska VA Psychology Internship Program is committed to the development and training of doctoral level psychology interns as a generalist training program. The program is central to the identity of the Psychology Service at the Alaska VA, is highly valued by our leadership, and represents a long-standing and passionate investment on the part of our psychology staff. Our program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association (APA); the next site visit will be during the academic year 2028.
The Alaska VA Psychology Internship Program will regretfully not be offered for the upcoming 2022-2023 training year. The decision to pause the program for one year will serve as a foundation for adjusting program structure and optimizing the training that will be offered when we resume accepting applications for our 2023-2024 trainees. Please contact the Training Director or Assistant Training Director for further information:
