Hawaii Psychology Internship Consortium (Hi Pic)

The Hawai‘i Psychology Internship Consortium (HI-PIC) represents the collaborative effort of three state agencies – the Department of Education, Department of Public Safety, and the Department of Health, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division,– to share resources and faculty for the purpose of providing a diversified educational program for doctoral psychology interns. Training takes place at seven training sites across three of Hawai‘i’s islands: Oahu, Kauai, and Hawai‘i (the “Big Island”). HI-PIC offers one-year, full-time doctoral internships beginning and ending in July. The start date for the 2022-2023 cohort is July 13, 2022. The Consortium provides a range of clinical and didactic experiences that represents the necessary depth and breadth required for future professional practice within psychology. Interns have a primary placement at one of seven sites, with both required and elective rotations and other training experiences at other sites within the consortium. Across training sites, interns are expected to complete a full-time internship during the internship year, of which at least 500 hours are spent in the provision of direct face-to-face clinical services. Interns are expected to achieve the internship's program aim and objectives and to abide by the APA Code of Ethics, the requirements of the HI-PIC training program, and the policies and procedures of their primary training site. All sites offer the following major training emphases: Behavioral Health Intervention, Psychological Assessment, and Consultation and Systems Collaboration. Every intern will be required to complete two minor rotations: one in Corrections and the other focusing on Cultural Diversity and the Self. Please refer to https://hi-pic.org/ for more information.
