Health Service Psychology Postdoctoral Residency
Residency is the year that bridges the space between being a psychology intern and being a professional psychologist. As such, the program is designed to meet the increasing skill level of the resident, approaching training and supervision from a developmental model. The program is sequential, cumulative and graded in complexity. The residency program consists of 2000 hours over 12 months and encompasses training, group and individual supervision, and didactic experiences designed to meet the American Psychological Association (APA) Standards of Accreditation (SoA), and Arizona licensure requirements. Please note that the post-doctoral residency is NOT accredited by the APA at this time. Licensure requirements vary from state-to-state, so prospective residents are encouraged to be knowledgeable regarding the requirements of other states. Current program tracks include the Recovery College/Community Living Program, Opioid Replacement Services Clinic, Outpatient Clinic-Maricopa County, School and Community Based Counseling Services, and Southwest Autism Center of Excellence.
