Welcome to the Clinical Psychology Internship Program

This Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program is housed within the Department of Psychiatry in the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania. Perelman School of Medicine, the first school of medicine in the nation, is part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System and includes the first hospital and the nation's first psychiatric unit founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1751. The goal of the internship training program is to provide a year-long combination of clinical rotations, supervision, and didactic experiences that prepare clinical psychologists for careers in the evidence-based practice of psychology. The program is committed to an affirming learning environment to support ongoing development of cultural humility and opportunities to serve multicultural populations.   

The internship consists of four parallel tracks:

  • General Adult Track (Match #153612) - 4 positions
  • Child/Developmental Disabilities Track (Match #153611) - 1 position
  • Neuropsychology Track (Match #153613) - 1 position.
  • BRAND NEW FOR 2025-2026!  Student Health and Counseling Track (Match #153614) - 2 positions

Much of the information for the program applies to all of the tracks, but the Training Experiences section describes the different clinical training experiences offered by each track.
