For most Noida students who study psychology, the toughest part of their psychology degree is not the theory and not the coursework. It is finding a good clinical position after completing the theory. There are so many Private Universities like Amity, Sharda, Galgotia, and GL Bajaj, in the NCR region, that together produce more psychology graduates than the region’s clinical training facilities can handle. The result is that students are qualified on paper, but lack practical experience. In order to gain practical training experience, many students have to travel to Delhi, for clinical hours at IHBAS or AIIMS. University lectures prepare students with the theoretical background; however, it has no utility until one comes face to face with a distressed patient and has the skills to interpret, on the fly, what they are seeing and hearing into diagnostic, case writing, and\or therapeutic planning markers.
To fill this gap and as an initiative led by the rapid expansion of the student population in Noida, where the academic output is excellent, but clinical training is deficient, we offer an online psychology internship (summer and winter) that is designed to provide students with the training they need.
The program is fully online, but it has been designed to be as rigorous as a placement in a hospital or clinic in Delhi NCR with live supervision, structured case discussion and training, and evidence-based practice, rather than with recorded lectures. Whether you are an undergraduate in a rush to meet your placement deadline, a postgraduate scholar, or even if you are coming from another field into mental health, you will gain the same clinical clarity and confidence that a physical internship provides without having to compete for one of the few internships in the field, or travel to Delhi.
