Our internship has been providing broad-based clinical psychology training since 1978 and has been APA accredited since 1979. Core clinical rotations include the Outpatient Mental Health Clinic, Clinical Health Psychology Service/Primary Care Clinic, and Neuropsychology Service. These are supplemented by experiences in Aeromedical Consultation Service, Deployment Psychology, and Crisis and Assessment.

​

In addition to a select active duty and civilian core faculty, we also enjoy the support of other Wright-Patterson Medical Center and Dayton-area health professionals in psychology, psychiatry, social work, psychiatric nursing, neurology, pediatrics, primary care, and many others who teach our didactics programs or interact with our interns in various roles. Our interns attend combined didactics with, University of Dayton, Dayton Veteran’s Administration Hospital, and Wright State University Psychiatry and Psychology residents.

We strive to prepare Air Force psychologists to deliver high quality, effective psychological services both within a community-based health care model and in support of wartime and peacetime military operations at home and in a deployed environment. We do this through a combination of supervised clinical experience, didactic training, clinical case conferences and “journal club.”  The strength of this program and its key to success has been the long standing cooperative, professional, and mutually enriching relationships among the various mental health disciplines. We are proud of the mutual respect evident among the psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and mental health nurses and technicians at Wright-Patterson and the positive training environment it provides for our interns.
