The aim of the University of Minnesota Medical School Psychology Internship is to prepare interns to meet the mental health needs of children and to function as psychologists in academic health centers or other clinical contexts. Interns provide clinical assessments and care for children and their families in a broad mix of clinical settings within a teaching hospital. In addition to extensive supervised clinical experiences, interns participate in a blend of didactics, conferences, and team meetings to further their professional development. The internship year provides ample opportunities for interns to collaborate closely with faculty and develop collegial relationships with our faculty, staff, and each other.
Thank you for exploring the opportunities our internship offers. We hope you like what you see and apply to our program. Please feel free to contact me or our other faculty members if you have any questions. I wish you a good journey on your internship quest and look forward to meeting you if you visit Minnesota.

"The University of Minnesota has a long history of caring for children, founding Minnesota’s first pediatric hospital almost 100 years ago. On its 100th anniversary in March 2011, University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital, in collaboration with Fairview Health Services, will open the first green children’s hospital facility in the state. The new facility will offer a dedicated pediatric emergency department with 10 emergency rooms, two trauma bays and six state-of-the-art operating suites. All of the facility’s spacious patient rooms are private, eco-friendly, include features to promote healing, and provide space for the family to be with their child."
