- [00:00:05.188]Hello, I'm Beth Doll
- [00:00:06.506]and the Training Director
- [00:00:07.607]of the Nebraska Internship Consortium
- [00:00:09.959]in Professional Psychology.
- [00:00:11.961]We are the oldest
- [00:00:13.413]and largest internship
- [00:00:14.881]consortium accredited
- [00:00:16.166]by the American Psychological Association.
- [00:00:19.019]Every year
- [00:00:20.369]since 1985,
- [00:00:22.789]We have brought doctoral candidates
- [00:00:25.108]to Nebraska
- [00:00:26.042]to complete
- [00:00:26.793]our highly acclaimed internship
- [00:00:28.945]in professional psychology.
- [00:00:30.830]So my name
- [00:00:31.534]Zach Besecker.
- [00:00:32.332]I work at
- [00:00:33.371]Creighton University
- [00:00:34.367]over in Omaha.
- [00:00:35.902]And one thing
- [00:00:37.431]that I really like about
- [00:00:38.238]the consortium
- [00:00:39.122]is the opportunity
- [00:00:40.023]to connect with other interns
- [00:00:41.541]who are at different sites.
- [00:00:43.343]It's really nice to be able
- [00:00:44.160]to share experiences,
- [00:00:45.712]some that are similar
- [00:00:46.579]in some of their different
- [00:00:47.881]and get that opportunity
- [00:00:49.282]to both socialize and learn
- [00:00:51.201]and kind of a collaborative environment
- [00:00:52.769]like this.
- [00:00:53.848]The consortium began
- [00:00:55.369]when Dr. Jane Close Conoley,
- [00:00:57.501]a faculty member
- [00:00:58.441]in educational psychology,
- [00:01:00.560]convinced three Nebraska
- [00:01:02.245]mental health agencies to band together
- [00:01:05.031]and offer
- [00:01:05.849]an internship stipend
- [00:01:07.467]and substantial supervision
- [00:01:09.619]to the department's
- [00:01:10.587]advanced students
- [00:01:11.688]in professional psychology.
- [00:01:13.823]Within five years,
- [00:01:15.175]30 interns had completed
- [00:01:16.976]an NICPP internship
- [00:01:19.229]at one of the 13 different agencies.
- [00:01:22.165]Today, more than 40 interns
- [00:01:24.167]annually complete
- [00:01:25.101]their accredited internship
- [00:01:27.020]at one of our eight
- [00:01:28.254]NICPP member agencies.
- [00:01:31.040]Boys Town,
- [00:01:32.242]the Department of Health
- [00:01:33.243]and Human Services of Nebraska
- [00:01:35.662]Catholic Social Services,
- [00:01:37.730]Creighton University Center
- [00:01:39.415]for Health and Counseling,
- [00:01:41.401]the University of Nebraska Lincoln's
- [00:01:43.403]Counseling and Psychological Services.
- [00:01:46.473]The Munroe-Meyer
- [00:01:47.490]Institute
- [00:01:48.691]of the University
- [00:01:49.642]of Nebraska Medical Center,
- [00:01:51.895]the Psychology Department of Nebraska
- [00:01:54.447]Medicine
- [00:01:55.686]and Quality Living Incorporated
- [00:01:57.951]of Omaha.
- [00:01:59.302]You can find a virtual open house
- [00:02:01.521]for each of our member agencies
- [00:02:03.439]on this website
- [00:02:05.191]under the Consortium Sites tab.
- [00:02:08.244]In every case, NICPP
- [00:02:10.680]interns are supervised
- [00:02:12.115]by highly qualified
- [00:02:13.950]licensed psychologists.
- [00:02:15.756]So my name is
- [00:02:16.610]Jasmine Gray
- [00:02:17.487]and I am completing my internship
- [00:02:19.522]with the Munroe-Meyer Institute,
- [00:02:21.858]under the school,
- [00:02:23.393]comprehensive school
- [00:02:24.077]based mental health track.
- [00:02:26.012]And my experience
- [00:02:27.564]thus far has been pretty amazing.
- [00:02:30.083]The supervisors
- [00:02:30.834]that I've had the pleasure
- [00:02:32.252]of working with
- [00:02:33.019]have been extremely supportive
- [00:02:35.672]from my direct supervisors
- [00:02:37.257]all the way
- [00:02:37.707]up to the Director of Training,
- [00:02:41.281]Dr. Allison Grennan,
- [00:02:42.713]as well as
- [00:02:43.553]Dr. Beth Doll.
- [00:02:44.964]Just the communication
- [00:02:46.166]and the support overall
- [00:02:47.450]climate in general is just amazing here.
- [00:02:50.520]Open door policies.
- [00:02:52.939]Able, I'm able to go in
- [00:02:55.558]and pretty much talk about and express
- [00:02:57.260]any concerns that I have.
- [00:02:58.978]I feel extremely supported here,
- [00:03:01.047]and so it's been amazing this far.
- [00:03:03.499]Specific clinical opportunities will vary
- [00:03:06.236]from one site to the next.
- [00:03:08.271]And so I encourage you to visit
- [00:03:10.323]each site's web page.
- [00:03:12.208]Indeed, our
- [00:03:13.276]consortium structure
- [00:03:14.627]allows us to provide unique
- [00:03:16.312]opportunities for residential
- [00:03:18.781]and community-based services in medical
- [00:03:21.568]or community agencies within
- [00:03:24.228]remote rural, or culturally diverse
- [00:03:26.339]urban communities,
- [00:03:27.891]and with Nebraska's
- [00:03:29.042]indigenous communities.
- [00:03:31.344]Through site visits and monthly seminars,
- [00:03:33.780]we are able to create
- [00:03:35.148]a collaborative community
- [00:03:36.599]of interns
- [00:03:37.350]and supervisors
- [00:03:38.785]across all eight of our member agencies.
- [00:03:41.938]I'm Kayla Frodsham
- [00:03:43.373]at QLI
- [00:03:44.244]in Omaha, Nebraska,
- [00:03:46.159]and that's a post
- [00:03:47.727]hospital
- [00:03:48.632]rehabilitation center.
- [00:03:50.813]And to be honest,
- [00:03:54.200]I don't think I could have
- [00:03:55.218]picked a better internship.
- [00:03:56.836]It's such a good match.
- [00:03:58.438]And not only do I love the team
- [00:04:01.858]aspect at QLI,
- [00:04:03.526]but I've learned so much
- [00:04:04.460]about brain injury and
- [00:04:07.096]clinical skills.
- [00:04:08.514]It was my top choice and I got it
- [00:04:09.832]and I wouldn't change anything about it.
- [00:04:11.484]At the NICPP central office,
- [00:04:14.370]I work closely
- [00:04:15.321]with Alisa Kushner
- [00:04:16.456]to make certain that every intern accrues
- [00:04:19.726]the carefully documented
- [00:04:21.227]hours, experiences,
- [00:04:23.129]and stellar supervision required to meet
- [00:04:25.848]national standards
- [00:04:27.050]in professional psychology.
- [00:04:28.989]Hi, there
- [00:04:29.569]I am Alisa Kushner.
- [00:04:30.803]I'm the Program Coordinator
- [00:04:32.189]of the NICPP.
- [00:04:34.040]I work closely with
- [00:04:35.026]our Training Director,
- [00:04:35.842]Beth Doll
- [00:04:36.509]and our supervisors
- [00:04:37.610]to make sure we run things smoothly
- [00:04:39.629]and according to APA standards.
- [00:04:42.081]I also work closely
- [00:04:43.132]with each intern
- [00:04:44.000]to make sure they are
- [00:04:44.851]completing the necessary tasks
- [00:04:47.120]so that they can successfully graduate
- [00:04:49.072]from our program.
- [00:04:50.640]Our site has grown
- [00:04:51.624]to be the largest internship
- [00:04:53.042]site in the USA.
- [00:04:54.677]We are proud of that and proud
- [00:04:56.279]of the multitude of experiences
- [00:04:57.930]that each intern can gain
- [00:04:59.732]when they become a part
- [00:05:00.683]of our consortium.
- [00:05:01.951]I'm placed at
- [00:05:03.002]Creighton University's
- [00:05:04.103]Student Counseling Center
- [00:05:05.338]and I really enjoy it.
- [00:05:06.739]It's a fast-paced environment
- [00:05:08.758]with some really great folks.
- [00:05:11.027]We get lots of training opportunities
- [00:05:13.162]and we get to work with students
- [00:05:14.897]both undergrad and grad.
- [00:05:17.133]So there's a wide range of students
- [00:05:19.769]who come in
- [00:05:20.820]with a lot of different presenting problems,
- [00:05:22.939]and it's exciting to be there.
- [00:05:24.891]And we also have a therapy dog,
- [00:05:26.459]which is really enjoyable.
- [00:05:29.128]This year,
- [00:05:29.579]we anticipate
- [00:05:30.530]awarding certificates
- [00:05:31.848]of internship completion to 48 NICPP
- [00:05:35.902]interns who are completing
- [00:05:37.403]our advanced professional training.
- [00:05:39.772]They will go on to become highly skilled
- [00:05:42.325]professional psychologists
- [00:05:44.360]who meet the very urgent mental
- [00:05:46.312]health needs of communities
- [00:05:47.747]throughout the United States and beyond.
- [00:05:50.600]And that's the goal of our NICPP internship
- [00:05:54.620]to foster mental health
- [00:05:56.155]across the lifespan
- [00:05:58.074]in all of our communities.
