Internships and Student Teaching Opportunities

Training opportunities at Melmark provide undergraduates and graduate students with a chance to gain valuable experience in clinical settings tailored to an area of interest. Internships, pratica, and student teaching assignments not only help students meet degree requirements, but also provide contacts and experience that can be invaluable when seeking employment or career advancement. To be considered for an internship, simply mail or e-mail a completed application for employment, cover letter, resume, and three references to:

Stephen C. Luce, Ph.D.
Vice President of Clinical Programming, Training, and Research
Melmark
2600 Wayland Road
Berwyn, PA 19312-2307
Telephone: 610-325-4958
Fax: 610-325-7770
Email: sluce@melmark.org

The cover letter should include:

  • Type of position sought.
  • Any requests for compensation (financial or other).¹
  • Skills possessed relevant to position desired.
  • Amount of time available to work (e.g., hours per week and number of weeks).
  • Level of supervision needed (e.g., weekly supervision by a licensed psychologist).

Strong communication skills and the ability to function as a member of a team or independently are essential.

¹ Most student teaching, internships, and practicum assignments are provided without reimbursement; however, in some rare cases where an intern provides essential functions, stipends or other compensation may be available.
