CAPS Training Program for Mental Health Professionals

CAPS provides training opportunities for a variety of mental health professionals-in-training. The CAPS training program consists of an American Psychological Association-accredited predoctoral psychology internship program (3 doctoral interns per year), a psychology master's-level practicum program (1 student per year), a social work internship program (2 interns per year), and a psychiatry resident rotation program (1-2 residents per year). Senior staff at CAPS closely supervise all clinical services provided by trainees.

The CAPS training model is conceptualized as a community mental health model, with the University and its constituents representing the community served. Trainees therefore learn to provide a range of services, including direct clinical services to students, consultation to University personnel, and psychoeducational outreach programs to non-patient students in the University community.
