Simms/Mann - UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology. (Formerly the Ted Mann Family Resource Center) The Integrative Oncology Externship at the Simms/Mann-UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology is a 12-month training program for graduate students enrolled in an APA approved Clinical Psychology doctoral program interested in developing a career in the field of health psychology. Through the externship, students obtain intensive exposure to clinical care of patients with cancer and their family members including learning about the disease of cancer, the impact it has on the psychosocial functioning of adult patients and family members throughout various stages of development, concrete and comprehensive interventions, and the role of mental health professionals in a medical environment. Externs will receive this training in an outpatient center through close supervision, clinical work in a variety of medical oncology settings, observations and didactic training including case conferences and lectures.
Interested students should submit a letter of interest, current CV, and 2 letters of reference (preferably current or previous supervisors) by March 1st. Students will be contacted for an interview. Application material may be submitted to Dr. Anne Coscarelli via e-mail at acoscarelli@mednet.ucla.edu or through mail. We accept between 1 and 3 externs per year depending on continuation of current externs.
