After what seems like an eternity, Beth took a giant leap toward completing her doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology. With her last year of class work about to wrap up, the only things that stands between her and whatever Dr. Manning jokes I can think of are completing her doctoral thesis and her internship (the equivalent of a residency in medicine). Today, she found out that she will be interning at the Manhattan VA Medical Center, working her way through three rotations in outpatient/ inpatient, health and neuro-psychologies.

She began the process of applying to internships over a year ago and despite all of her hard work, she was never guaranteed a spot. In the final process, both Beth and the institutions she applied to provide a list of their top picks to APPIC and if there's a match, she gets her internship. The whole experience falls somewhere between buying a lottery ticket and rushing a sorority. It's a scarey process but in any case, she's in. Congratulations, Beth!
