General Expectations

The NV-PIC training program is a year-long, full-time doctoral internship experience, beginning and ending in August. The start date is regularly updated and can be viewed in the sidebar on the left.

Across training sites, interns are expected to complete a minimum of 2,080 hours of training during the the internship year, of which at least 25% (520 hours) are spent in the provision of direct face-to-face clinical services. On average, interns spend 12 to 15 hours providing face-to-face services. Interns are expected to achieve the aims and competencies of the internship program (see NV-PIC Competencies) and to abide by the APA Code of Ethics, the requirements of the NV-PIC training program, and the policies and procedures of their primary training site.

NV-PIC has a comprehensive Due Process procedure which outlines the procedure for addressing concerns about intern performance, as well as interns’ concerns about training. These procedures are provided in hard copy to all interns during orientation and are available for download under Policies and Procedures.
