I have read on various forums that students can tailor their practicum and externship experiences during graduate school towards their area or populations of interest. Does this include being able to organize your own externship experience, at say a private practice or clinical site that does not have an established externship program? Is it just a matter of getting a licensed psychologist, with specialization in your area of interest, to agree to supervise and train you? I am asking because I am considering a PsyD program that doesn't really have established training opportunities in an area I am interested in, and as far as why I am considering the program despite this, it's because this program is offering substantial funding, tuition waiver, health insurance, etc. So, I want to know if I can attend and still find a way to create my own training opportunities, so to speak. My understanding of how clinical training is organized is limited. Seeking your expert advice. Thanks in advance!
