Psychology internship and postdoctoral residency training program | veterans affairs

The psychology internship and postdoctoral residency training program at VA North Texas Health Care System offers a clinical psychology predoctoral internship, a clinical psychology

postdoctoral fellowship and a neuropsychology postdoctoral fellowship. Please see below for further information regarding each of these specific training offerings. POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

TRAINING PROGRAM The postdoctoral fellowship is fully APA accredited with the next site visit scheduled during the 2029 academic year. Psychology fellows must have completed all requirements

for doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in clinical or counseling psychology from an APA-accredited institution, including completion of a doctoral internship in professional psychology (must

also be APA-accredited). Internship and/or practicum experiences in relevant clinical settings (substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), LGBT health care, or medical

psychology) and a professional goal of working as a psychologist in the fields of substance abuse, PTSD, LGBT health care, or medical psychology are preferred but not required. POSTDOCTORAL

RESIDENCY IN CLINICAL NEUROPSYCHOLOGY The clinical neuropsychology postdoctoral residency is a 2-year program, recruiting one resident every year. The program is a member of the Association

of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology and has received APA specialty accreditation on contingency in clinical neuropsychology through 2022. This program follows a

practitioner-scholar training model consistent with APA Division 40/Houston conference guidelines. As such, this program will assist residents in meeting pre-requisites for board

certification in clinical neuropsychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). Residents of the neuropsychology program interact with residents from the clinical

psychology program through a combination of shared didactics and professional development supervision.
