Internship

The Hofstra University programs in Clinical Psychology and Combined Clinical & School Psychology (the latter of which is no longer admitting students since 2007) are new to the APPIC match process. The data presented below reflect the first groups of Combined program students whom have been through the match. We believe that as our students continue to serve as interns at APA settings the strength of Hofstra applicants will be increasingly recognized. Supervisor feedback regarding Hofstra students has been extremely positive. It is important that applicants be aware of a national discrepancy in which there are a greater number of internship candidates than available settings. When not matched at an APA accredited setting, some students choose to go to an alternative, non-accredited setting. In order to be helpful to students, our program faculty do not require an APA accredited internship in order to complete graduation requirements.

The data presented below are from students who were enrolled in the Ph.D. program in Combined Clinical & School Psychology and do not reflect participation in the APPIC match process. Students in the combined Clinical & School Psychology program who enrolled prior to September of 2005 participated in an extended and diversified internship model. This two year part-time model has students serve as school interns during their third year of study and serve as clinical interns during their fourth year of study. The internships were not APPIC members nor were they APA/CPA accredited. This internship program has been phased out. As depicted in these data, the clinical internships were typically funded whereas the school experiences usually are not. These internships were overseen by the faculty of the doctoral program and adhered to the general requirements of internship as defined by New York State, APPIC and the National Register. Most internships were completed in the tri-state area (NY, NJ and CT) and allowed for close contact and visits with internship staff and facilities.
