typical of larger settings. ELIGIBILITY Priority is given to applicants from APA-accredited programs in clinical psychology. However, applications from school, counseling and combined clinical programs may be considered as well. Prior to beginning the externship, all applicants must have completed three (3) years of graduate training, including theory courses and previous practica in both psychological testing and psychotherapy. Further, applicants must be students in good standing within their respective graduate psychology programs, as demonstrated by a letter from their respective academic training directors attesting to such. RECRUITMENT As the non-English speaking population in the Lower East Side community steadily increases, there is also a growing demand at Gouverneur for bilingual service providers who are proficient in Spanish and Chinese dialects (Mandarin, Cantonese, Fuzhounese). In order to address this changing need, the psychology externship program is taking efforts to recruit bilingual trainees. However, ultimately, our commitment is to recruit the best candidates for the externship program who meet the eligibility criteria set forth above, and who stand to benefit professionally from the training we offer. TIME COMMITMENT The externship is a part-time, 10-month training commitment. Externs are expected to be on-site 16 hours per week, distributed over 2 full weekdays, beginning in early September (after Labor Day) and ending in late June. Further, we understand that some externs may be applying for internship at the time of their externship training at Gouverneur, and, with prior notification, will receive time off for interviewing. Externs are expected to be on-site on Mondays, with the other day flexible. The mandatory Monday is so that externs can participate in various interdisciplinary / departmental meetings / seminars, as well be present for a biweekly meeting with the externship director; on alternating weeks, this biweekly meeting will be administrative in nature for a discussion of general training and professional development issues / maintenance of training standards, with the other week reserved for group supervision in a case conference format. BENEFITS Externs receive 11 regular federal / public holidays (including July 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Days), and unpaid sick leave. Any other requested time off is to be pre-arranged / pre-approved by both the director of externship training and externs’ primary supervisors. HHC are equal opportunity employers.
