OKPPTC
The locations of the Consortium sites are across central and eastern Oklahoma. We have two locations in the OKC Metro area, 2 in the Tulsa, OK area, and 1 rural location in Southeastern Oklahoma. Psychology Specialists of Oklahoma is located in the heart of OKC, Norman Behavioral Health Group is located in Norman, OK, Green Country Psychology and Solutions Mental Health are in the Tulsa Metro area, and McAlester Psychological Associates is located in rural southeastern Oklahoma. Should an intern match with our McAlester location, as a Primary and/or Secondary Site, a stipend of $1000/year is paid to off set any additional travel expenses.
Didactic training occurs intensively on a monthly basis at sites across the Consortium. This will require travel (up to approx. 2 hours), regardless of your Primary or Secondary Site location(s), at some point throughout the year. Monthly Didactics are opportunities to be alongside your fellow interns at sites across the Consortium. In addition, there is a 2-hour virtual didactic training that occurs once monthly, as well.
Each Psychology Intern has the opportunity to select a Primary Site and a Secondary Site. In some cases, especially with remote locations, the Primary Site and Secondary Site can be the same (a P/S site). Each OKPPTC-affiliated site adheres to the OKPPTC Capstone model of training, guiding each intern from the foundational knowledge associated with readiness for internship to the functional skillset indicative of readiness to enter independent practice. The OKPPTC Capstones are reviewed monthly in an evaluation-rich environment. These Capstones are guided by the Profession Wide Competencies, consistently delivered across sites in a sequential series of experiences in private practice settings.
