PSYCHOLOGY INTERNSHIP DIDACTIC PRESENTATION SERIES
I. The purpose of the series is to provide the psychology interns with didactic training in areas relevant to the practice of clinical psychology generally, and Navy psychology specifically. Didactic training includes a Psychiatry Grand Rounds series, scheduled on Wednesdays from 1600-1700. Additional didactic trainings will be scheduled on Friday afternoons from 1300-1530. Friday afternoon didactics occur once or twice a month. Navy Psychology interns meet weekly with the Training Director, during which administrative issues are covered, journal articles are discussed (focusing on Leadership, Ethics and Multicultural Competence), and prepared case presentations made and discussed.
The following principles have been established for the various didactic training series:
- A. Each presentation is practice oriented.
- B. The interns will be exempted from scheduled clinical responsibilities during the planned didactic seminars. Any exception must be cleared with the Rotation Director and Program Director.
- C. For interns, attendance is mandatory, unless time away has been approved by the Program Director in advance. Clinical responsibilities should be scheduled so as not to be a reason for absence.
Following each presentation, those attending will complete an evaluation form.
