The doctoral psychology internship at Colorado Mental Health Hospital in Pueblo (CMHHIP) trains Health Services Psychology Interns in the nine profession-wide competencies of general clinical practice, with an emphasis on efficacious delivery of behavioral health services to forensic populations. Our program has been accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) Commission on Accreditation (COA) since 2010 and we are scheduled for our next site visit in 2027. We provide experiential training in the application of evidence-based treatment interventions, psychological and forensic evaluations, applied clinical research, trauma-informed care, and efficacious clinical supervision. We provide multiple opportunities to observe professional modeling to meaningfully further our interns' development as Health Services Psychologists.
Our program is now accepting applications for three doctoral internship positions for the 2023-2024 training year. Intern positions are full-time term-limited (12 months) employees of the State of Colorado. Interns are non-exempt employees thus eligible for comp time, and will receive a salary with state benefits to include medical, dental, and vision insurance, eleven (11) state holidays, annual leave, and sick leave.
CMHHIP is a 24/7 state in-patient facility. COVID-19 vaccinations are mandatory for all staff working in Colorado’s 24/7 facilities.
