Hanna, PhD Due to financial circumstances beyond our control, the YCS Institute will not be able to offer internships for the upcoming year ('08 - '09). Therefore, we will withdraw from the match, maintain our APPIC membership, and hope that circumstances change so we can participate the following year. ===== APPIC Member #: 1181 Site Name: The Village Location: Hartford, CT Training Director: Kathleen E. Garnet, Ph.D. - kgarnet@villageforchildren.org, 860-297-0551 The Village has experienced an unexpected psychology staffing shortage. We are actively in the process of recruiting a licensed psychologist for this opening. However, we have made the difficult decision to suspend recruitment at this time. We do not want to put applicants in the position of traveling to our site to interview without being able to guarantee that we will remain on active status for the 2008 - 2009 year. We plan to recruit through the Clearinghouse to fill the four slots for next year, assuming that our staffing situation improves, as we are confident it will. ===== APPIC Member #: 1173 Site Name: Denver Health Medical Center Location: Denver, CO Training Director: Christopher Sheldon, Ph.D. (christopher.sheldon@dhha.org) The DHMC Predoctoral Internship is pleased to announce funding for two additional internship positions. A new major rotation in Health and Primary Care Psychology will focus on integrated clinical care and on development and implementation of disease management models. Separate APPIC Match numbers will be used to help applicants select a desired combination of major rotations. With this significant change, new applications will be accepted until 11/28/07. ===== APPIC Member #: 1130 Site Name: Augustus Hawkins Mental Health Center Location: Los Angeles, CA Training Director: LaTonya Wood, PhD - lwood@lacdmh.org; 310-668-4358 The training program at Augustus F. Hawkins is pleased to announce that it has added a Jail Mental Health Specialty to its rotations. Interns will be assigned to either the Century Regional Detention Facility for women or the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles, California. Interns assigned to this rotation will have opportunities to work with the Forensic Inpatient Program, a psychiatric hospital in the jail that provides generally short-term treatment for male and female inmates experiencing acute episodes of mental illness; and the "Outpatient" Programs, which provide mental health services for inmates who do not require inpatient hospitalization. Direct services include intake evaluations, diagnosis, crisis intervention, individual therapy, and group therapy. Psychological testing may be available when appropriate and feasible. Interns will also have the opportunity to participate in the Community Reintegration Project which is a coordinated effort across disciplines to mobilize psychosocial, mental health and rehabilitation needs of released inmates to reduce recidivism. The rotation assignment will also include didactics specific to forensic assessment and jail mental health. To allow time for interested persons to submit applications, the application deadline has been extended to December 15, 2007. It is requested that ALL application materials be submitted electronically to lwood@lacdmh.org ===== APPIC Member #: 1493 Site Name: MercyFirst Location: Syosset, NY Training Director: Stephen Migden, Ph.D., ABPP For the 2008-09 training year, mercyFirst will enroll an intern class of 10.
