Charleston Consortium Psychology Internship Training Program

The Charleston Consortium Psychology Internship Training Program is a collaborative effort of the Medical University of South Carolina and the Psychology Service of the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. This program provides a year-long, full-time internship training experience for Ph.D. students in APA-accredited clinical, counseling, or school psychology programs. Applicants from programs that are not accredited may apply and will be considered if their program is applying for an initial Site Visit. Our internship is accredited by the American Psychological Association and has trained over 800 psychology interns, many of whom are now pursuing careers in universities, medical schools, Veterans Administration Medical Centers, teaching hospitals, and other settings. We are a member of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Sciences (APCS), which is a coalition of doctoral programs and a handful of internships that share the goal of advancing scientific knowledge in the assessment, understanding, and amelioration of human problems. As an APCS member, in addition to providing rigorous clinical training, our program also requires training in clinical science. We are committed to providing training to interns who reflect the full spectrum of human diversity, including race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability status, gender identity, sexual orientation, and religious belief.

Our program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association. Our most recent site visit occurred in 2016.
