Description
Webinar Overview:
The pre-doctoral clinical psychology internship can be one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of a psychologist’s career. Applying for internship can be one of the most stressful. In this webinar, we bring together training directors from graduate programs and internship sites to provide strategies and tips for making the most of the summer leading up to internship applications. How do you organize your c.v.? How do you select the sites that fit you? What are internship sites looking for? What happens to your application on the other side? Our panel of experts will provide overviews of these critical topics and then will hold an open Q&A session, so you can ask individualized questions. In addition, SCCAP members will have access to the online discussion forum after the webinar where panelists will respond to questions for 30 days after the webinar!
