There are detailed evaluation criteria for each element of the internship. The major features of these criteria are listed below ^{(see footnote 1)}. You are encouraged to contact a member of the training team for more information.

We have designed our internship to meet the training requirements for most university departments. However, your academic institution may specify requirements that are different from those offered at this site. You are encouraged to be proactive in determining if an internship at Counseling Services will meet your needs. We would be delighted to discuss any concerns you may have as you make this important decision.

Interns are expected to function within a framework of high ethical standards and professional competence. Each intern will be required to develop training goals with his or her primary supervisor. The various goals and associated tasks will be clearly described along with the time frame expected for the completion of each task. Goals will consist of both professional and personal development and should reflect your movement from a student to a professional role.

Although the primary focus of Internship is on providing intense clinical training and skill development, evaluation is an essential part of the training year. Your performance as an intern will be formally evaluated twice a year. The training team will meet and discuss your progress toward successful completion of the internship expectations and evaluation criteria. Input will also be solicited from any senior staff observing your service activities. All the information obtained will be integrated. Feedback regarding the evaluation will then be provided in written and verbal form. Your academic department will receive a copy of the written evaluation.
