Brown Clinical Psychology Training Consortium
Overview
The Clinical Psychology Training Program functions as a consortium and is composed of eight training sites including Butler Hospital, the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, E.P. Bradley Hospital, Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island, The Miriam Hospital, Rhode Island Hospital, Roger Williams Medical Center, and Women & Infants Hospital. Each of these training sites is administratively independent, but each site contributes faculty, financial support, and other resources to the Training Program. Each site has at least two appropriately trained and experienced psychologists who have input into the governance and policies of the training program.
The Consortium is centrally controlled through a training committee that is within the DPHB. The Training Committee, through the Director of Training, is responsible to the Chairman of the DPHB. Representatives from each of the eight institutions are appointed to the Training Committee by the Director of the Training Program. In addition, representatives of the predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows are appointed to the Training Committee.
The Training Committee (shown at left), under the leadership of the Director of the Training Consortium is the central coordinating body of the Predoctoral Internship Program's policies and goals. Admission principles and procedures, awarding of stipends, assignment of interns for training and supervision, quality control of training, and evaluation of intern performance are uniform in all sites and administered by the Committee. The Director of Internship Training is responsible for the interns' overall training experience.
The Training Committee, under the leadership of the Director of the Training Consortium and it's two Associate Directors for postdoctoral training, is the central coordinating body of the Postdoctoral Training Program's policies. The Associate Director of Clinical/Research Postdoctoral Training has overall responsibility for the General Clinical/Research postdoctoral fellows. The Associate Director of NIH-supported Postdoctoral Training has overall responsibility for postdoctoral training of the fellows in the NIH training programs. Regular meetings are held between the fellows and the appropriate Associate Directors.
