Psychology Internship Evaluations

As an intern, you receive a formal evaluation from your supervisor at mid-year (February) and at year-end (August), addressing performance and noting areas of strength as well as areas for continued development. Joseph D. Laino, PsyD, director of internship training, is responsible for providing the director of clinical training at your home graduate program with a copy of both evaluations.

The internship uses the nine profession-wide competencies established by the American Psychological Association, with associated learning objectives, to evaluate intern performance. A fuller description of the evaluation process and a copy of the evaluation form can be found in the internship training manual and brochure.

Due Process and Grievance Procedures

Our due process procedure seeks to address performance-related concerns through a respectful, equitable, and timely process. Hard and electronic copies of the procedure are provided to each intern and to each intern supervisor at the start of the internship. Similarly, the program has a separate and distinct procedure in place should you want to file a grievance against the program, clinic, or any of its personnel. Hard and electronic copies of the grievance procedure are provided to every intern and internship supervisor at the beginning of the internship.

A copy of the full due process and grievance procedures can be found in the internship training manual and brochure.
