Clinical Child/Pediatric Psychology Internship Program
The Clinical Child/Pediatric Psychology training program at the University of Louisville School of Medicine strongly emphasizes the practitioner side of the professional/scientific model with an emphasis on a wide variety of intensive clinical experiences. The scientific aspects of psychology are consistently integrated into both the clinical services experience and formal didactic training. A variety of child/adolescent-focused clinical seminars are presented throughout the internship year, along with clinical case conferences and Child Psychiatry Grand Rounds.
Example seminars and didactic topics include: Advanced Child & Adolescent Psychopathology, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with Children, Family Therapy, Pediatric Psychopharmacology, among others.
Considerable didactic training is also integrated into the various service rounds on the Pediatrics Consult Liaison Service, Keller Day Treatment Program, and the Ackerkly Inpatient Unit. Individual and group supervision are mainstays of the University of Louisville training experience.
