The Internship Training Program has
as its primary Goals the following:
Goal 1. To develop fledgling
Clinical Psychologists who are generally competent in the assessment and
treatment of patients with a particular emphasis on the seriously mentally

of other professionals.
Goal 3. To develop
psychologists with a fundamental knowledge of administration, program
development and evaluation.
