The CAVHS Psychology Internship Program provides a dynamic, generalist training experience. All interns, regardless of specialty interests, are expected to learn and demonstrate the basic skills required of a beginning psychologist, primarily in the areas of evidence-based assessment and intervention, consultation, and professional development. Our training program currently maintains seven internship slots, including three Clinical Psychology Track, two Health Psychology Track, and two Neuropsychology Track positions. No positions are dedicated to any one university, and our interns come from all over the United States. All tracks provide vigorous training in evidence-based practices and promote recovery-oriented, veteran-centered care.
