Am several years into PsyD program in the US and entering brainstorming stages for my year of doctoral internship....I would love to move out of the US and do it abroad.
Does anyone have knowledge on whether this is possible?
Or better yet has anyone done this successfully, or know someone who did?
Plenty of students in my program have moved out of state for internship placement, since we are totally done on campus- is this so different? Is it as simple as finding a placement there and seeing if my program approves the training etc?
Is it a potential problem to see clients that are not American, if using the hours towards a US degree? Would I need to make sure that my supervisor there is someone who is still licensed in a US state? What complications am I not thinking of?
FYI I am not seeking immediate licensure in either country so that is not my main concern, just meeting requirements for an internship to get my degree.
Thank you so much in advance!!
