The focus of our program is to train psychology interns in the areas of pediatric health psychology and clinical neuropsychology. A graduated program of training experiences is provided for doctoral level psychology trainees. Our program is based on a Practitioner Scholar model, an integration of scholarship with experiential learning. The program includes exposure to knowledge and skills necessary for the completion of doctoral level training in professional psychology.
From didactic seminars to shadowing experiences, interns are trained in a manner that is sequential, cumulative and graded in complexity. The intern's progression toward independent practice informed by science is closely monitored through supervision provided across all aspects of training, the importance of psychological research and the application of that research to practice emphasize.
"My passion for pediatric psychology led me to the Pediatric Health Doctoral Internship Program at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. It was there that I was exposed to a diversity of culture, a vast array of challenging and unique cases, and a variety of opportunities with outpatient testing/therapy, inpatient consultations, and multidisciplinary clinics, which all together provided training to which no other internship could compare. In the midst of the training, I was welcomed into a department of supervisors that felt like a family. This internship provided me with the experience, competence, and confidence I needed to become a competitive applicant for fellowship and shape me into the clinician I am today"
"I had such an exceptional and enriching experience during my internship year at Nicklaus Children's Hospital (Miami Children's). The variety of training opportunities coupled with the diverse patient population cultivated immense clinical growth and learning. The supervisors in the program are knowledgeable, caring, and truly are the cornerstone of the program's success. Furthermore, the city of Miami is breathtaking and such an amazing place to work and live. The unparalleled pediatric internship training at Nicklaus has enabled me to excel in my current fellowship at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and undoubtedly prepared me well for a future career as a pediatric psychologist."
"I had a fantastic experience while being a psychology intern/resident at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. I had exposure to a wide range of pediatric conditions in a variety of capacities including consultation-liaison services, multidisciplinary clinics, and outpatient settings. I consider my supervisors at NCH to be lifelong mentors and role models"
COVID-19 RULES AND REGULATIONS for 2020-2021: PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 EXPOSURE IN OUR COMMUNITY THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED: The Psychology interns and fellows follow the same safety measures and use of PPE (personal protective equipment) that our employees follow. Employees and visitors have daily temperature checks at point of entry and are given “walk around” masks. Telehealth is used for the outpatient visits and consults when most appropriate. All meetings and educational sessions are done virtually, unless noted otherwise. Medical floor consultations continue to take place in-person. Masks are to be worn across all locations in the institution. APPIC recognizes that applicants and training programs greatly value the on-site interview process. However, for this year, all doctoral internship and postdoctoral residency/fellowship programs are strongly encouraged to exclusively use virtual, remote, or on-line open houses, interviews, and/or tours for the entire selection process and not to utilize or offer in-person recruitment formats”. For this reason, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital will be offering virtual, remote, or online interviews to all interviewees, including local candidates/applicants or those who may request an in-person visit, to support safe and equitable practices.
