The Psychology Intern contract is for a 12-month duration beginning the 14th of June, 2023, and extending through the 13th of June, 2024 unless otherwise specified. Interns will receive annual pay of $40,000. Consistent with APA CoA guidelines, doctoral students shall be represented as “psychology interns.” Interns will be assigned to provide a minimum of forty (40) hours per week (not to exceed fifty (50) hours per week) of clinical work or case management services, which includes the attendance of required didactic training activities, supervision time, and paid leave. A “normal” schedule is defined as the intern working Monday—Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. NPTC acknowledges that from time-to-time interns may be required to deviate from this “normal” schedule. Site schedules are a general guideline and interns may be required to make themselves available at other times as needed. It is expected that the Member, the intern, and the President/CEO will use reasonable judgment in managing such situations. However, any recurrent or regularly scheduled deviation from this schedule should be clearly stated in the individual site’s manual addendum and provided to the intern prior to the start of the training year. Each intern’s schedule may vary according to their special interests, as spelled out in their Individual Learning and Training Plan and with consideration to needs of the training site.
The remaining time in the intern’s schedule will be accounted for as designated in the Individual Learning and Training Plan with consideration of the intern’s interests and chosen elective activities. All interns will be required to participate in activities that are designated as APPIC, APA, and state licensure minimum requirements for Psychology Internship Training.
