What Makes Our Internship Unique?
Cincinnati Children's has the largest hospital-operated pediatric behavioral and mental health facility in the country. We are the only children's hospital in the country to have a dedicated residential treatment program.
This means that our interns have access to all the resources of a hospital, while being fully immersed in a mental health setting. Interns are part of a robust treatment team which includes physicians, nurses, psychologists, behavioral health specialists and consultants, social workers, dieticians, occupational therapists, speech therapists, art therapists, therapeutic recreation specialists, child life specialists, and chaplains.
Interns also have access to an array of educational experiences, including Hospital Grand Rounds, Psychiatry Grand Rounds, Schwartz Rounds, and observing and co-treating with other disciplines.
