Mentored Clinical Internship (MCI)
This course offers students opportunities to apply their academic learning experiences to a wide variety of clinical psychology-based professional placements. The course connects you to agencies that fit your interests and/or future goals. Second, the weekly seminar is an opportunity for all interns to share experiences, appreciate the importance of ethics and confidentiality in clinical psychological work, and offer advice about how to handle thought-provoking, sometimes perplexing placement situations. The seminar is a kind of “think tank,” a way to discuss situations, cases, and specific concerns in a safe and confidential environment. Guest experts from around the state and as supplemental readings provide a deeper understanding of broader clinical psychology professional options. See the list of organizations in which students are currently enrolled in the right sidebar on this page. For more information.
