Center for Heart and Vascular Health
Interns work as part of a multidisciplinary team to address behavioral and psychological factors affecting patients. Inpatient consultations are provided throughout the hospital’s large cardiovascular service line. Interns respond to consult requests from attending physicians and perform proactive consults for particularly high-risk patient populations. They assess patients’ psychosocial needs, provide supportive, short-term and long-term therapy, as well as education to patients and their families. Interns have opportunities to conduct pre-surgical evaluation of candidates for advanced heart failure treatment options, facilitate support groups, and see patients on an inpatient and outpatient basis.
Neuropsychology Assessment
Interns provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations in a hospital-based outpatient clinic, where they conduct clinical interviews, administer a wide range of neuropsychological tests, score and interpret results, write reports, and provide feedback to patients. Referrals come from a variety of specialties across the health care system and include questions related to mild cognitive impairment/dementia, epilepsy, stroke, movement disorders, concussion/traumatic brain injury, and other neurological and psychiatric diagnoses. Interns also participate in weekly neuropsychology-specific didactics and have the opportunity to participate in research using an extensive patient database.
Center for Women’s Emotional Wellness
Interns join a multidisciplinary team of licensed psychologists, therapists, psychiatric providers, psychology trainees and medical professionals from the obstetrics and neonatology departments to deliver comprehensive mental health services to the perinatal population, including individuals who are pregnant, postpartum, trying to conceive, or experiencing pregnancy or neonatal loss.
Interns provide consultation, psychological assessment, and evidence-based psychotherapy in both outpatient and inpatient settings. In addition to direct clinical care, interns collaborate with multidisciplinary obstetrical teams by providing consultation and education on the behavioral and psychological factors that influence patient care. Interns also support remote patient monitoring and patient engagement as part of an innovative digital therapeutic initiative. Training and facilitation of 3rd party reproduction consultations and assessment may also be available.
Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute
Interns participate in multidisciplinary teams across the cancer care continuum by providing outpatient therapy, multidisciplinary team assessment, education, intervention, and inpatient consultation for patients at times from diagnosis and treatment to recovery or end-of-life. They collaborate with physicians, nurse navigators, social workers, financial assistants, registered dietitians, genetic counselors, and pain and rehabilitation specialists. Interns have the opportunity to co-facilitate or provide psychoeducation, support and education groups, participate in the patient triage process, and complete psychosocial evaluations for bone marrow transplant. Interns may also have opportunities to engage in program development and implementation and research activities.
