Dear Applicant:
Welcome to the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Children’s Hospital Internship Training Program website. I hope that the information provided here is helpful to you in evaluating the training opportunities and atmosphere at our internship. Interns are not only valued within the Division of Behavioral Health but also as trainees by all medical disciplines. We share a close and mutually supportive relationship with Psychiatry and Pediatrics.
I hope the following sections help you understand the wide variety of experiences that are part of our standard training curriculum. We take pride in both the breadth and depth of training and feel we have much to offer doctoral candidates interested in both Pediatric Psychology and traditional Child Clinical Psychology.
Six interns comprise our class but there are Post Doctoral Fellows and Externs training with us as well. While we are known as a “hard-working” training site, we are also well known for the warm and friendly relationships between our trainees and faculty. Formal supervision is abundant and faculty have an open-door policy for informal consultation.
If our program interests you, I hope you will review our application materials, that include details describing all training and educational aspects of the internship.
I wish you the best on your journey to obtain the very best clinical training and education possible.
Sincerely,
David V. Sheslow, Ph.D.
