Hudson River Regional Psychology Internship Program

New York State Office of Mental Health

Predoctoral Internship Program in Professional Psychology

 

Locations:

• Hudson River Psychiatric Center

• Poughkeepsie, New York 12601

• Middletown/Rockland Psychiatric Centers Combined Site

• Middletown Psychiatric Center

• Middletown, New York 10940

• Rockland Psychiatric Center

• Orangeburg, New York 10962

• The Hudson River Regional Psychology Internship program provides full-time, one-year predoctoral internship positions for doctoral candidates in clinical and counseling psychology.  The training program is the result of a unique collaboration of three facilities of the New York State Office of mental health: Hudson River Psychiatric Center, Middletown Psychiatric Center, and Rockland Psychiatric Center.

 

• All three facilities are located in the picturesque Hudson River region of New York State, north of New York City.  All serve seriously and persistently mentally ill adults in inpatient and community settings.  Nonetheless, each facility has its own distinct character.

 

• There are currently six interns participating in the training program: four interns at the Hudson River psychiatric Center site and two interns at the combined Middletown/Rockland site.  Each intern selects a “home” site during the application process, and this is where all supervised placements - inpatient and outpatient – occur.  In addition, all interns share one day per week in seminars and other training experiences.

 

• Each of the three participating facilities is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care organizations.  In addition, outpatient programs are certified by the New York State office of Mental Health.

 

• The training program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association.

 

Structure of the Program:

• Interns spend four days each week at the “home” site and one day each week with all other regional interns attending seminars and other training experiences.

• The core seminar day is shared with all interns and consists of seminars and other training experiences designed to increase interns’ skills and knowledge as professional psychologists.  This is the opportunity for all six interns to share and learn from each other.

• Core day seminar series this past year have included: Behavioral Assessment, Psychological testing and Evaluation, Neuropsychological Evaluation,

Days and Hours:

• The four days each week spent at the “home” site encompass supervised placements in inpatient programs and outpatient clinics.
