An Invitation…
The Ohio Psychology
Internship is a consortium of agencies committed to the quality training of
psychology interns. Previously known as Northeastern Ohio Universities College
of Medicine (NEOUCOM) Psychology Internship, the internship formally changed its
name to Ohio Psychology Internship on July 1, 2006 when the affiliation with the
medical school ended. Summit Psychological Associates, Inc. administers the
internship as it has for more than ten years. The internship is based in three
community agencies and one psychiatric hospital, which offer a wide range of
mental health training opportunities. Psychological interns also participate in
a variety of conferences and seminars.
The Ohio Psychology
Internship is accredited by the American Psychological Association (750 First
Street N.W., Washington D.C., (202) 336-5500;
www.apa.org). The next accreditation site visit will be held in 2013.
About The Area…
The Ohio Psychology
Internship Program is located near the cities of Akron, Canton and Youngstown in
Northeastern Ohio. Each of the cities (population 220,000 – 250,000) boasts its
own symphony orchestra, theater, ballet company, art museums and attractions.
Each has excellent concert halls and theaters which host national performances
and the areas boast several National Parks. Canton houses the Football Hall of
Fame and the Hall of Fame Game in August each year and Akron is the home of the
Inventors Hall of Fame. Additionally, the internship is close to Cleveland and
its many diverse communities as well as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Science
Center, Jacob’s Field (home of the Cleveland Indians), and world class
orchestra.
The Cities are connected by
interstate highways providing ready access to large parks, recreational lakes
and national forests that offer an exciting array of water sports, skiing,
hiking, golf and other outdoor activities. Rural life is only 10 minutes away
from each hospital or agency. You may choose to live inside one of the cities,
in the suburbs, or in a nearby town or village. Each city boasts housing costs
below the national average in a safe environment for you and your family.
