to fostering clinical skills and professional identity in Doctoral Interns. Internship applications for the 2025-2026 training year must be submitted through the AAPI online no later than

visit in Winter 2025. Our Clinical Neuropsychology program received full accreditation from the American Psychological Association in 2023.  Our Fellowship program will adhere to the Common

Hold Date (2/24/25). The exception is our Clinical Neuropsychology track. Thank you!                                            COVID-19 PANDEMIC RESPONSE Since the COVID-19 pandemic,

VAPORHCS has been supportive of psychology trainees teleworking using VA issued equipment. It is most likely that Interns and Fellows will have a hybrid schedule, working both on campus and

at home. The amount of telework will depend on training goals, clinically appropriate care, and personal/public safety. However, on average, Interns and Fellows are typically on station two

days per week (with three days working remotely), but some clinics will differ in terms of frequency dependent on the factors stated above.  -------------------------
