Make_appointment.jpg

Thank you very much for your interest in our APA-accredited internship in health service psychology. We are very excited that you would consider us for your internship experience. For the 2024-2025 academic year, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at Brigham Young University (BYU) offers four full-time, 12-month internships for doctoral-level graduate students in clinical or counseling psychology.

As an internship placement site, we do not want to add to the financial stress of applicants by having them pay for an airplane flight and lodging accommodations as part of your internship interviews. We are also mindful that not all applicants have equal access to financial funding. Therefore, to promote equality and inclusion, ALL of our interviews will take place via videoconference software only. There will be no on-site interviews. Thank you for your understanding. We provide an online brief tour of our center to provide potential applicants a look into what we consider a wonderful climate and environment for your internship. A visit to our center can be scheduled if you desire, however, it will not impact our internship ranking outcomes.

The internship for the school year will begin August 19, 2024 and end on August 15, 2025. Each position carries a stipend of $46,801.00 and includes all benefits accorded full-time University personnel (vacation and sick leave, holidays; medical, dental, and life insurance; $450.00 for each intern to spend on professional development opportunities; UTA TRAX, Frontrunner, UVX, and buss pass; library privileges; BYU store discount; and discounted tickets to university events).

The CAPS Psychology Internship began in 1989 and is accredited by the American Psychological Association. Please click on all the different links describing our internship program in greater detail. We hope you will find that we provide an excellent training program offering a wide diversity of experiences. At BYU-CAPS, we see our interns as colleagues who participate in all services and staff development activities within the Center. Our goal is to create an environment of genuine support, trust, equality, collegiality, as our interns sharpen their professional identity and work toward their future goals. We strive to create a climate that is welcoming to ALL forms of diversity, where difference is valued and appreciated.

All interested persons are encouraged to apply. Brigham Young University is an Equal Opportunity Employer and member of the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC).
