Clinical Psychology Internship
and Fellowships
The Division of Psychology of the Department of Psychiatry and
Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University’s Feinberg
School of Medicine and Northwestern Memorial Hospital cosponsor
a two-year full-time training program in clinical psychology.
Candidates are admitted for the two-year period each year on July
1. The first year is a predoctoral internship in clinical psychology
that concentrates on skill development in the areas of assessment,
diagnosis, and effective treatment of a broad range of psychopathology.
The second year is a postdoctoral fellowship that builds on the
foundation of general clinical psychology skills developed in the
internship year.
The goals of this combined two-year program are
- To provide excellent generalist training for predoctoral
interns
- To integrate the broad-based internship training with specialized
postdoctoral clinical skills
- To develop the clinical and research skills necessary for
a career in academic health care
An alternative postdoctoral fellowship program in clinical neurospsycology
is supported by the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
and the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease Center
of the Feinberg School.
