Psychology Internships
After returning from combat, many Veterans struggle to readjust to life at home. Our mental health care providers play a critical role in helping these Veterans reclaim their lives by providing cutting-edge care. VA supports this mission by ensuring that our mental health professionals have the most innovative technologies, facilities, and training at their fingertips. When you join VA, you will be a core member of our interdisciplinary care team structure, collaborating with both primary care and other mental health professionals to establish the right course of treatment for patients.

Internship Program at VA Coatesville
The doctoral internship at VA Coatesville is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association. Doctoral students in APA or CPA accredited Clinical or Counseling Psychology programs are encouraged to apply. All coursework required for the doctoral degree must be completed prior to the start of the internship year, as well as any qualifying, comprehensive, or preliminary doctoral examinations. We prefer candidates whose doctoral dissertations have been proposed.
