Affiliated Training Agencies
The varied opportunities for scholarly learning, professional collaboration, role modeling and mentoring are a major strength of the intern training program. The Counseling Center maintains mutual training relationships with the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital which offers an APA accredited predoctoral internship. Interns may gain experiential training in several other agencies, including the Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa General Hospital, the Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System, USF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, the Carter-Jenkins Center - Psychoanalytic Institute, and Mental Health Care Inc. These agencies provide opportunities for a wide range of training experiences in neuropsychology, behavioral medicine, substance abuse treatment, mental health and public policy, and organizational consultation, as well as supervised experience with a broad range of client populations, including medical and psychiatric inpatients, children, adolescents, and adults. Interns select external placements on the basis of their interests, previous experience, and level of training.
