The clinical internship is a 40 hour/week, full-time, non-exempt, full-year employment.  Interns in the 2006-2007 will be paid a stipend of $15,600.  In addition to their stipends, interns receive three weeks per year of paid vacation, usual and customary holidays and 12 sick/personal leave days, as well as a week of paid training leave to support off-site training opportunities and dissertation-related activities.  Benefits also include medical and dental coverage for the intern (a small monthly co-payment applies).  Family coverage is available at additional cost.  It should be noted that benefits begin October 1st of the training year after a requisite waiting period, which is consistent for all employees across the agency. 

Interns are welcomed as highly valued members of the Morrison Child and Family Services staff. They have the right to pursue training free from discrimination based on gender, race, ethnicity, religion, marital status, age, sexual orientation, or physical handicap. The internship staff as well as the agency as a whole, makes every effort to ensure that interns receive the same trainings, services, benefits and fair treatment as on-going staff members.  In the event that an intern has a concern, there is an easily accessible procedure to resolve grievances in an expedient and effective manner. 

Applicants must be from a clinical, counseling or school psychology program, hold a Masters degree, and complete a full application for psychology internship.  Preference is given to applicants who:

• Are from an APA-approved programs
• Have a solid clinical foundation in their graduate training
• Have demonstrated experience and interest in child and family intervention and community based-practice
• Have completed their graduate course work
• Have collected their dissertation data

Overriding all these factors is our desire to attract bright, diverse and energetic applicants who are eager to learn.  All interested applicants are encouraged to apply.  Applicants should be aware that this internship represents a focused training experience (child, family, and community) rather than a generalist exposure.  Applications are due on December 2, 2005 and an Open House will be held on Thursday, January 12, 2006 from 12:30pm-3pm.  Match day will be in February 2006; we will contact you with the exact date when it is known.  The next training year begins Thursday, August 10th, 2006.

Application Process Information

Also of specific note is how Match selection currently occurs at Morrison.  Morrison will participate in the APPIC Match, and applicants must obtain an applicant agreement and register for the Match in order to be eligible to obtain a match with one of our 2 programs.  Applicants may obtain an APPIC application by downloading it at www.natmatch.com or contacting National Matching Services (NMS) to secure a copy.  Given the general division of primary placements between outpatient and day treatment services, there are two separate tracks that interns may apply for in the Match.  Intern candidates may apply for one or both of these tracks when applying to the internship, and are requested to please clearly indicate what track/s you are applying for on the APPIC application, in the space just above the space allotted for the autobiographical statement.  It is also requested that intern candidates NOT communicate their ranking of the tracks to internship staff/employees consistent with APPIC guidelines.  For Match purposes, the day treatment (Edgefield) and Outpatient tracks have separate program numbers, and function as independent programs.  The program numbers are as follows: Outpatient –152412 and Edgefield – 152413. 

In order for interns to graduate from our full-year internship program, they must complete designated internship hours and meet the program’s competency goals.
