Internship Training Model

Our Doctoral Internship Program is a full-time, 12-month internship with training experiences across three unique settings. 

We place the intern into the role of a practitioner-scholar and strive to reinforce the dynamic interchange between practice and scholarship. The substantive area of professional psychology represented is that of applied psychology in the criminal justice system. Correctional settings operate within a legal and political landscape in which psychology professionals are frequently called upon to account for their methods and procedures. 

Our interns build upon their graduate education as they learn to deliver psychological services that account for the individual, cultural, socioeconomic, and societal considerations of a target population of underserved clients with a broad range of mental health needs.

A part of the NCDAC Division of Comprehensive Health Services, the Behavioral Health Services section includes the clinical services provided by our licensed behavioral health clinicians, treatment support services, and the Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency Program.

Our internship maintains membership in the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC #2142). We offer our internship positions through the APPIC Internship Matching Program operated by the National Matching Services, Inc. Our Internship Match Code is #214211.
