The Tufts Undergraduate Clinical Psychology Internship Program: 2006-present
I co-direct the undergraduate Clinical Psychology Program at Tufts University. This program
culminates in a year-long clinical internship for senior (final-year) students. This unique program
aims to expose students who have already declared an interest in mental health, and have
received some training in clinical methods and techniques, to real-world settings where they will
be exposed to clients with severe mental illness. I work closely with clinicians and clinical
researchers to establish new onsite internships in facilities that serve clients with severe mental
illness, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, severe anxiety disorders
and others. This links our interns’ experiences with their offsite clinical and research training at
Tufts University, using a model that emphasizes a range of psychotherapeutic, medical,
rehabilitative, cognitive, behavioral, social, and supportive interventions.
This program is supported by a 5-year grant from the Sidney Baer Trust.
