MPS Internship Program
The MPS Doctoral 12-month, full-time (42.5-44 hours/week; minimum of 2000 hours/training year) psychology internship with San Mateo Medical Center offers training and experience with various rotations embedded within Medical Psychiatry Services (MPS). MPS offers two internship tracks: Integrated Behavioral Health track and Neuropsychology track. MPS is part of an integrated health care team found in primary care and medical specialty clinics and also has longstanding service-provision arrangements with the medical and psychiatric inpatient units. Interns work alongside primary care providers, medical specialists, nurses, and medical assistants, offering the most comprehensive care possible for our patients. We primarily provide individual and group therapy, with opportunities to engage in couples and family therapy.
The training program is sequential and cumulative, and is designed to produce competent, ethical, independently functioning clinicians, ready to enter the field of professional psychology. On a weekly basis, interns receive two hours of individual supervision, two hours of group supervision, two hours of didactic seminar, which includes 2.5 hours of Psychiatry Grand Rounds per month, and one hour of supervision specific to therapy groups.
