The University of Miami Mailman Center for Child Development Internship program prepares trainees for entry level practice in health service psychology, with emphasis on clinical child and pediatric psychology.  As such, applicants should have strong child clinical backgrounds with experience in evidence-based assessment and interventions approaches with children and families.  Coursework and/or practicum experience in pediatric psychology is also preferred.
