Internship Rotations
The primary training activities are organized through three rotations: (a) Child and Adolescent Psychiatry; (b) Pediatric Neuropsychology; and (c) Pediatric Psychology. Interns participate in two of the three rotations. In general, limited clinical experiences within the third rotation or with other services may be negotiated at the discretion of primary supervisors and the supervisors of the third rotation. Detailed descriptions of rotations are given to interns at the beginning of the rotations and may be reviewed at the time of interviews for the Internship.
The National Matching Services computerized matching system matches interns with their choice of rotations through their choice of tracks (i.e. combinations of two rotations). Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply separately to each track (i.e., pairs of rotations) in which they would be interested to participate. In other words, applicants are advised to rank all three tracks (i.e., 3 actual rankings) in the list they submit to the NMS for the computer match. Most applicants ultimately rank the internship three times when submitting rank orders to the APPIC-NMS match according to their preferences among the three tracks. In other words, applicants have three chances to apply to the Internship when they submit their rank order lists. This allows them to have maximal opportunity to determine their rotations as interns.
Final rotation assignments (i.e., the sequence of rotations) have generally been determined after the match, based on input from the faculty and interns. In rare circumstances it may be necessary to negotiate changes in rotations later in the year in response to unforeseen developments.
