Pediatric Psychology Internship Program
Facilities
Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital, a 64 bed pediatric rehabilitation and specialty hospital, has been providing care for infants, children, adolescents and young adults with chronic medical and developmental conditions, and their families for over 80 years.
The hospital has three primary inpatient programs (Physical Rehabilitation, Pulmonary, Chronic Illness), two day treatment programs (Rehabilitation, Feeding), numerous outpatient clinics and a broad array of outpatient services. The hospital also operates an inpatient and outpatient unit at Prince George’s Hospital in Laurel, Maryland.
Inpatients are generally referred from acute care settings (a small number of inpatient programs accept referrals directly from home), while day treatment and outpatients programs receive referrals from a variety of sources.
Student Facilities:
The facilities available for interns include office space with personal computers and telephones in the student office. Each intern will have their own desk, phone, and computer. The computers are part of a local area network with access to Division and hospital-wide shared drives and files and internet access.
The Division has its own suite, including individual clinical rooms for assessment and therapy. There is a full range of audio and video taping equipment available, and the psychology clinical rooms have observation windows (one way mirror) and sound system, facilitating supervision and training. The interns have access to the medical library at MWPH, and some research support is available.
