Rick: You're probably referring to the Davidson-Broughton Program, operated jointly by Davidson College and Broughton Hospital. Over the years we have had a number of students participate in it, with uniformly excellent reviews of the experience. The message from Ruth Ault is listed below (though I got this copy from the PsychTeach list). (Unfortunately, the application deadline was April 1. But for future reference....) ************************************************** Colleagues, Please call the following program to the attention of your sophomore and junior psychology majors. Davidson College sponsors an eight-week summer program for undergraduates which includes coursework and an internship at Broughton Hospital in Morganton, N.C., a state psychiatric facility serving western North Carolina. Students complete two course credits in the areas of abnormal/clinical psychology. One is a regular classroom course that meets weekly. This course, taught by a Davidson College regular faculty member, will either be Abnormal Psychology (PSY 231) or Tutorial (PSY 330), depending on whether a student has previously taken a course in abnormal psychology. In addition, students take Abnormal Psychology Practicum (PSY 290) which includes working in the hospital 20-25 hours per week and meeting weekly, times to be arranged once the class arrives in Morganton. This course is taught by a private practitioner. The program will run from May 28 to July 19, 2002. Participants work with hospital professionals as observers and assistants in patient treatment programs. Field trips to other institutions in the area are included and participation in research may be arranged for qualified students. Service to the hospital is an important aspect of all placement options. In past years placement options have included the Divisions of Adult Admissions, Psychiatric Rehabilitation, Adolescence, and Geropsychiatry. For more information, visit the department webpage: http://www.davidson.edu/academic/psychology/psych.htm and link to Davidson-Broughton. The application form is also there. Deadline: APRIL 1, 2002. ------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Ruth L. Ault Maddrey Professor and Chair of Psychology Davidson College P.O.
