Mailman Center Pediatric Psychology Internship Program
On July 16, faculty and staff celebrated the graduation of the 2024–2025 Mailman Center for Child Development Pediatric Psychology Internship Program. Over the past year, these doctoral interns completed intensive training in clinical child and pediatric psychology. Each has secured a highly competitive postdoctoral fellowship, both nationwide and here in South Florida. We are proud of the exceptional clinical care, research, training, and community engagement this next generation of psychologists will bring to the field.
