PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to obtain information about psychology internship training programs involving work with individuals with disabilities receiving rehabilitation services in the United States and Canada.
RESEARCH METHOD/DESIGN: The Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) directory was used to identify 426 training programs that listed supervised experience in rehabilitation psychology, and these programs were sent a survey assessing characteristics of their internship. There were 227 program directors who responded (53%), and 114 of them reported that their internship involved working with disabled persons receiving rehabilitation services.
The majority of training programs were at a hospital or subacute rehabilitation facility (Veteran Affairs and non-Veteran Affairs), and 41% of the programs were housed within an independent psychology department. Sixteen programs (15%) had faculty who were board certified by the American Board of Rehabilitation Psychology (ABRP).
CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS: Interns were exposed to a broad range of conditions, such as brain injuries, orthopedic, and spinal cord injuries, as well as comorbid psychiatric and substance use disorders. Interns were also provided various levels of training in ABRP competencies across programs. Opportunities to improve training with rehabilitation populations at the internship level include increasing didactics related to rehabilitation psychology and increasing opportunities to work with ABRP faculty.

本研究旨在获取有关美国和加拿大涉及接受康复服务的残疾个体工作的心理学实习培训项目的信息。
研究方法/设计：使用心理学博士后和实习中心协会（APPIC）目录确定了 426 个培训项目，这些项目列出了康复心理学的监督经验，并向这些项目发送了一项评估其实习特点的调查。有 227 名项目主任做出回应（53%），其中 114 名报告其实习涉及与接受康复服务的残疾人士合作。
大多数培训项目位于医院或亚急性康复机构（退伍军人事务部和非退伍军人事务部），41%的项目位于独立心理学系内。有 16 个项目（15%）的教职员工持有美国康复心理学委员会（ABRP）的认证。
结论/意义：实习医生接触到广泛的疾病，如脑损伤、骨科和脊髓损伤，以及合并的精神和药物使用障碍。实习医生还在各个项目中接受了 ABRP 能力的不同层次的培训。在实习层面上增加与康复人群相关的康复心理学教学和增加与 ABRP 教员合作的机会，可以提高培训机会。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
