Nebraska Internship Consortium in Professional Psychology

This predoctoral internship is a commitment to comprehensive and coordinated experiences designed for graduate students completing their PhD in Clinical, School or Counseling Psychology.

The Nebraska Internship Consortium in Professional Psychology comprises seven cooperating agencies that together offer a broad range of professional experiences for qualified doctoral students in psychology.

The consortium's mission is to provide psychology interns with intensive professional training experiences within the context of a scientist-practitioner model.

The consortium specializes in training professional psychologists with child, adolescent, college student and family interests.

Comprehensive and Coordinated Experiences

Because the defining feature of NICPP as a consortium is their commitment to comprehensive and coordinated experiences, interns are admitted to the program as a whole and not to an individual agency per se.

Primary training experiences, responsibilities and supervision are coordinated at individual sites, with oversight by the NICPP Board of Supervisors. Interns attend monthly seminars, have access to many other educational events, and are exposed to a wide array of talented supervisors.

MMI Psychology Interns function primarily in a clinical role that involves assessment, diagnosis, treatment and consultation services for individuals with a wide range of mental health needs and across abilities, backgrounds, languages and the lifespan.
