We are particularly interested in developing psychologists who have an interest in working with veterans in underserved rural areas; men and women from these areas tend to be well
represented in the armed forces. Psychologists working in rural areas need to be generalists to a large degree, so a major goal of our program is to produce psychologists who are outstanding
generalists. Please see our brochure for detailed information about our medical center and training program. The doctoral internship at the Sheridan VAHCS is a full-time (52-week 2,080
hours) rurally-focused psychology internship training program that is funded by the Veteran Health Administration's Office of Academic Affairs. Our site is accredited by the American
Psychological Association and we are a member of APPIC. ACCREDITATION STATUS The Sheridan VA Health Care System (SVAHCS) Psychology Internship program is currently accredited by the
