Medens Health’s Clinical Training Program is a one-year, in-person program designed to train students in both psychotherapy and psychological assessments. This advanced pre-internship program equips students with the foundational skills, knowledge, and experience needed to excel in their predoctoral internships and future careers.

They’ll engage with 5 to 10 psychotherapy clients per week and complete up to three psychological assessments monthly, gaining invaluable hands-on experience.
The program provides training in areas such as:
