ELIGIBILITY / APPLICATION / SELECTION PROCESS

The consortium currently offers 4 full-time internship positions. Three positions are offered
at the University of Texas at El Paso - University Counseling and Psychological Services, and one position at
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso - Department of Psychiatry.

All interns, prior to starting their internship program at the EPPIC, are required to have completed their
coursework and to have passed all of their required comprehensive examinations or projected to have
these completed before internship.

Interns are also expected to have at least three semesters of practicum
experience at the doctoral level prior to the start of the internship program (500 intervention hours).

***Due to COVID19 we will be lenient with minimum hour requirement when reviewing applications***

If the intern’s program requires a dissertation, the intern must have successfully defended their dissertation
proposal prior to starting their internship experience.
Doctoral Psychology Interns must have a bachelor's degree and be currently
enrolled and be in good standing in a counseling or clinical psychology
doctoral program.
It is our expectation that interns come prepared with the requisite counseling
skills commensurate with a doctoral level candidate starting in a doctoral
internship program.
