Doctoral Students – Practicum

If you are enrolled in a doctoral program in clinical psychology or a related field and have an interest in forensic psychology, BCI has a number of training opportunities that may be approved by your educational institution.  

All students are supervised by a staff member with a Doctor of Psychology or Doctor of Philosophy credential and related licensure.  Emphasis is placed on providing quality training opportunities designed to increase a student’s clinical and forensic knowledge and skills and overall professional development.  Schedules are often very flexible and can be arranged around your other obligations.

Key areas of focus:  

• participants may include individuals with traumatic brain injuries, learning disabilities, cognitive impairments, and/or mental health diagnoses

• sessions focus on competency (to stand trial) remediation rather than traditional therapy

• remediation entails using various methods/procedures (i.e., workbook, games, media) to teach participants about their rights, court personnel, plea options, etc.

• students have flexibility to adapt the content of sessions based upon each individual participant’s needs, learning style, and areas of strength and weakness

 

Other Useful Information:

• hours are flexible — typically, a student is expected to meet with a participant for 45-60 minutes twice each week

• hours are not guaranteed and are based on court volume/flow

• there may be opportunities to meet participants both within and outside the BCI office

• travel may be required, but is reimbursed at current federal rates

• there may be opportunities to provide remediation to juveniles as well as adults

• routine case documentation and reporting is required
