The Doctoral Internship in Health Service Psychology at the Hershel “Woody” Williams VA Medical Center (VAMC) is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation (CoA) of the American Psychological Association (APA).  Our most recent accreditation site visit occurred in May 2022, and we are awaiting the results of this visit.  For information regarding this program’s accreditation status, please call or write:

We are currently accepting applications and our application deadline for the 2023-2024 training year is 18 November 2022.  The program is open to U.S. citizens who are pursuing a doctoral student in good standing at an APA- or Canadian Psychological Association (CPA)-accredited graduate program in Clinical, Counseling, or Combined psychology or a Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) accredited program in Clinical Science.

As an equal opportunity training program, our internship is committed to ensuring a range of diversity among interns with respect to Veteran status, members of historically underrepresented groups, sexual orientation, and disability status.  We welcome and strongly encourage applications from all qualified candidates, regardless of racial, ethnic, religious, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or other minority status. 

The primary goal of our internship is to prepare interns for success in their postdoctoral and entry-level practice in health service psychology.

As a member of the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC), the Hershel “Woody” Williams VAMC internship participates in the APPIC match and adheres to all APPIC policies.  Internship applications are submitted electronically.
