Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, through the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences, offers a training program to pre-doctoral practicum level psychology students. Students are trained in the practice of psychology and have the opportunity to learn the foundational elements of the behavioral sciences in a multidisciplinary setting with a wide range of patient populations.
The training program has two separate tracks.
In addition to individual and group supervision provided by the training committee students from both tracks participate in a weekly didactic seminar and students are encouraged to take part in Grand Rounds lectures as well as many other training opportunities offered in the various departments at Cedars-Sinai throughout the year.
