Train At Pine Rest | Psychology Predoctoral Internship
Program History
Program History
Program History
Pine Rest’s Pre-Doctoral Psychology Internship was developed approximately 50 years ago, with APA accreditation first being given in 1982*.
Graduates of the training program have gone on to highly productive careers in the U.S. and beyond, with many electing to remain with Pine Rest.
With an increased focus toward formal postdoctoral training, we have been pleased that our graduates have been able to obtain formal post-doctoral training positions. Nonetheless, the training program has been highly successful in preparing psychologists for a variety of post-internship positions, including college and university faculty, independent practice, community counseling, university-based hospital systems, college counseling centers, and integrated health systems.
