Hello All -
I'm posting for a friend: Would an internship in a child track jeopardize you (i.e., make you less desirable) as a candidate for post-doc or future employment in the VA system? What about if your overall training was balanced (several years in both child-focused and adult-only externship settings, not exclusively child sites), which warrants interest in continuing with adult-only populations after finishing a child internship? Her research interest is trauma-based which is another reason for seeking out the VA for future post-doc/employment.
Thanks! This will help my friend rank her internship sites for the upcoming match!
